1.INTRODUCTION

Your new Husky POWER INVERTER is one in a series of the most advanced DC to AC inverters available. With proper care and appropriate usage, it will give you years of dependable service in your car, truck, RV or boat.

The POWER INVERTER supplies 750 watts of continuous power, with a 1500 watt peak, in the form of two household-type outlets that are ready to deliver 110 volt AC power whenever and wherever you need it! The heavy-duty inverter has enough power to run most household or electronic appliances. It also comes equipped with battery clips to handle higher amperage/load applications, such as power tools, stereo amplifiers, vacuums, etc. Added safety features include automatic shutdown and a low battery alarm to prevent damage to your battery.

This Power Inverter is configured with the latest Soft Start Technology (SST). Before introduction of Soft-Start, high start-ups currents from large inductive loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves inverter operation. Three major features incorporated in SST include: first, gradual voltage ramp-up during inverter start-ups. This eliminates failed cold starts under load. Second, output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers to allow large motorized loads to start. This eliminates almost all shutdowns from momentary overloads. Last, the inverter automatically restarts when an overload that causes inverter shutdown is removed. Previously, manual reset was required.

This power inverter also incorporates a new cooling technology that directly benefits our customers. The new design more efficiently cools the power transistors, and combined with Soft Start, dramatically increases reliability and the life of the product.

Given proper care and appropriate use, your inverter is covered by a 2-year initial warranty. You may extend the warranty an additional two full years by paying a small fee. See the Warranty Information at the end of this manual.

2.CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND CONNECTORS

Figure 1 details the front panel of the inverter. The front panel provides two LED indicators. A green LED shows proper operation when lit. The red LED shows inverter shutdown from overload, over voltage or over temperature. Power is supplied through two grounded standard North American outlets. Outlets accommodate either two or three pin AC plugs. An On/Off Switch turns the inverter circuitry On and Off. The switch is used to force a reset of inverter circuits if it is switched Off, then On.
