Warning! Use only Double Insulated Portable Electronic Devices

with Your Inverter!

A polarized three-pin AC receptacle is provided for your convenience to accept

devices with three-pin plugs. The earth/ground pin is notgrounded and your

Inverter should notbe used with devices requiring an earth/ground connec-

tion. Mostdigital devices do not require an earth/ground connection as they

enclosed areas. Automotive and recreational vehicles emitcarbon monoxide

which can cause serious injury or death if the vehicle’s engine is running in a

garage or other enclosed area, or near other enclosed areas.

Warning! Ensure thatYour Inverter’s Power Cable Does Not

Become Tangled with Your Vehicle’s Driving Controls!

When using your Inverter in your vehicle ensure thatthe Inverter and its power

cable is positioned in such a manner thatit does not impede upon the use of

the footcontrols (brake, clutch, throttle) or hand controls (gearshift, steering

wheel) which may lead to an unsafe vehicle operating condition.

and allow your Inverter to warm up for 5 minutes in the ON position. Plug your

portable electronic device into your warmed up Inverter. Repeatif necessary.

See starting and running the vehicle’s engine section of this instruction guide.

Inadequate power or excessive voltage drop—Check the condition of your

vehicle’s battery clips and terminals. Clean or replace, as necessary.
