WARNINGS:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
1.Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
2.Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before working on the appliance. Multiple outlet power strips with switches and
circuit breakers only interrupt power to the "hot" receptacle terminals. The "neutral" terminals remain powered with respect to the "ground"
terminals.
3.Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This includes 12 volt DC plug connections, and ring terminal connections.
4.This is not a toy - keep away from children.

1. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority of modern automobiles, RVs, trucks and boats are negative ground).
Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
2.This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that produce heat, such as hair dryers, microwave ovens and toasters.
3.Grounding the neutral will cause the inverter to shut down. Do not operate this inverter if it is wet. Do not install in engine compartment - install in a well ventilated area.
4.This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.
