WARNINGIfyou are making a permanentAC
connectionto the inverter, make sure that the
ACwiring steps are performed before any DC
wiringis done. (DC hook-up energizes internal
components,regardless of the position of the
On/OffSwitch).Workingon AC connections in such
acircumstance may result in an electric shock.
WARNING115 volt AC power is potentially lethal.
Donot work on AC wiring when it is connected to
theinverter (even if it is switched off) unless the
DCpower source is physically disconnected from
theinverter. Also, do not work on AC wiring if it
isconnected to another AC power source such
asa generator or the utility line.
WARNINGYou may observe a spark when
makingthe connection because currentcan
flowto charge the capacitorsin the inverter.
Donot make this connection in thepresence
offlammablefumes. Explosion or fire may
result.Thoroughly ventilate the battery
compartmentbefore making this connection.
NOTEIf onlyone power source is used,connect both
cablesfromthe negativeterminalof the inverter to the
negativeterminal of the powersource. Then connect
bothcables from thepositive terminalsof the inverter
tothe positive terminal of the power source.
