This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment within the wattage range of the inverter.

IMPORTANT: This inverter is designed to power 100-watt devices or less when used with the vehicle’s 12-volt accessory port. To use the full output, you must purchase a 12-volt accessory outlet to battery clips adapter (Schumacher Model SAC-103) and connect the inverter directly to the battery.

NOTE: The 100-watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles. Some vehicles may allow the full output. If the fuse blows when you switch on the device you are trying to use, you must either use a smaller device or purchase the 12-volt accessory outlet to battery clips adapter (Schumacher Model SAC-103) and connect the inverter directly to the battery.

IMPORTANT: This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore, we do not recommend you use it to power the following devices:

1.Switch Mode Power Supplies

2.Linear Power Supplies

3.Class 2 Transformers

4.Line Filter Capacitors

5.Shaded Pole Motors

6.Fan Motors

7.Microwave Ovens

8.Fluorescent and High Intensity Lamps (with a ballast)

9.Transformerless Battery Chargers

Doing so may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.

4.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.If connecting in a vehicle, remove the cigarette lighter from its outlet.

2.Make sure the device to be operated is turned OFF.

3.Push the 12-volt power plug firmly into the outlet.

4.The LED indicator light should glow GREEN, verifying the inverter is receiving power.
