Caution! Risk of damage to the 300 Inverter.

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

When you connect 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.

Caution! Fire hazard.

The wires in most 12 volt sockets or power outlets are not large enough for loads greater than 150 watts: they will overheat and present a fire hazard.

For loads greater than 150 watts, connect the inverter directly to the battery and use appropriately sized wires like those in the battery clip wire assembly provided with the inverter.

To connect the inverter:

1.Remove the nuts from the DC terminals on the inverter.

2.Place the red ring connector on the red (positive +) DC terminal, and then screw the red nut on until it is snug. Do not over tighten.

3.Attach the red clip to the red (positive +) battery terminal.

4.Attach the black clip to the black (negative –) battery terminal.
