In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equip- ment within the 1500-watt range.

If a device will not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, turn the inverter rocker switch ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succession. If this proce- dure is not successful, it is likely that the PI-1500 inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question.

Important: Make sure you connect your inverter to a

12-volt power supply only. Connecting to another voltage including any AC power source, will result in damage.

•Do not try extending or otherwise changing the 12-volt power cord of your inverter.

•Install in negative ground applications only.

•Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury. Electrical current on a 110-volt circuit can be very dangerous.

Fastening the PI-1500 to a Flat Surface

For convenience, the PI-1500 can be fastened to a flat surface, horizontally or vertically. The area where the inverter is to be fastened must be dry, well ventilated and away from any combustible products or fumes.

1. Turn off the PI-1500.
