INVERTER DAMAGE

Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will damage the inverter and will void your warranty.

Before connecting the inverter to the battery, double check the connections: The red wire must be connected to the red terminal on the inverter and the positive (+) terminal on the battery; the black wire must be connected to the black terminal on the inverter and the negative (–) terminal on the battery.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.

6.Place the red ring connector on the red (positive +) DC terminal on the inverter. With star washer in place, screw the red nut on until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.

7.Fasten the positive terminal (red wire) to the positive battery post.

8.Fasten the negative terminal (black wire) to the negative battery post.

9.Place the black ring connector on the black (negative –) DC terminal on the inverter. With star washer in place, screw the black nut on until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.

10.Switch the inverter’s ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. The green power light comes on, and AC power is available at the outlet.
