Connection to Load, Placement of the Inverter

4.3 CONNECTION TO LOAD

The MAXX 400 SST is equipped with dual standard North American AC power receptacles. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle(s). The green LED indicator lights to indicate that the inverter is functioning. Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed 400 SST watts.

The MAXX 400 SST is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the power inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the power inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral

conductoris connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

WARNING: Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.

CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter. Do not use the inverter to recharge items that q can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle.

This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The MAXX 400 SST is easily capable of running most chargers and transformers.

4.4 PLACEMENT OF THE INVERTER

For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface, such as the ground, car floor or other solid surface. A power cord measuring 3 feet (1.0 meter) has been provided for easy positioning of the inverter. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria:

DRY - Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the MAXX 400 SST inverter.

COOL - Ambient air temperature should be between 30 degrees F (-1 degree C) non-condensing, and 105 degrees F (40 degrees C). Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all possible.

VENTILATED - Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free
