CAUTION: The POWER INVERTER must be connected only to batteries
with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
4.2 CONNECTION TO POWER SOURCE
The POWER INVERTER comes equipped with battery clip cables for connection to the power source.
CAUTION: Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority of modern automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground).
To operate at full 750 watts output, either use the battery clip cable (supplied) or directly wire to the power source with user supplied wire and fuse. Use wire #8AWG for lengths of four feet or less and #6 AWG for lengths to 10 feet.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
Connecting to a Power Source Using Provided Cables:
Use the provided cables to connect the POWER INVERTER directly to the
12 volt power source using the following guidelines:
1.Check to be sure the POWER INVERTER power switch is turned off and that no flammable fumes are present.
2.Connect the black cable to the black post marked
the inverter. Connect the battery clip to the negative terminal of the battery.
3.Connect the red cable to the red post marked “(+)” on the back of the inverter. Connect the battery clip to the positive terminal of the battery.
4.Check to be sure that all connections between battery clips and terminals are secure.
Direct Hardwiring to Power Source:
Use #8 AWG wire if the inverter to power source connection is 4 feet or less. For longer cable lengths use #6 AWG wire. In either case, protect the positive (+) wire from shorts by installing a 150 to 200 Amp fuse or circuit breaker close to the DC power source (battery) terminal.
