Vector VEC018 Volt AC Operation, Volt DC Operation, Do not Connect to AC Distribution Wiring

110-volt AC Operation

CAUTION: Rechargeable Devices

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter unit of the Pocket Generator™. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this unit. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The Pocket Generator™ is capable of running most chargers and transformers.

1.Make sure that the ON/OFF switch on the inverter is in the OFF position.

2.Insert the 110 volt AC plug on the device to be operated into the AC outlet on the power inverter.

3.Turn the power inverter’s ON/OFF switch to ON.

4.Switch on the device, and operate as usual. Run-time depends upon the amperage draw of the device (see charts).

5.Green power/ON light next to switch will be lit.

12 volt DC Operation

WARNINGS

•When using the Pocket Generator™ Rechargeable Power Supply to run 12 volt devices, always check the polarity of the device to verify that it is negative ground. The Pocket Generator’s™ DC receptacle has an output limit of 10 amps; do not use it to power devices that require more than 10 amps. NOTE: The unit has an in-line 10 amp fuse that is designed to fail in the event the unit is used with any device requiring more than 10 amps.

•Always turn the power inverter switch to OFF position while running any 12 volt device, boosting vehicle battery system, using as Memory Saver, or recharging the Pocket Generator™ from either 110 volt AC or 12 volt DC power source. Failure to do so will void manufacturer’s warranty.

1.Simply insert the device’s 12 volt plug into the DC receptacle on the side of the Pocket Generator™.

2.Switch on the device, and operate as usual. Run-time depends upon the amperage draw of the device.

3.When necessary, recharge the Pocket Generator™, as directed in this manual.

CAUTION:

DO NOT CONNECT TO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING:

The Power Force 50™ is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

CAUTION:

RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the Power Force 50™. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this inverter. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The Power Force 50™ is capable of running most chargers and transformers.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the Power Force 50™ is overloaded, replace the main fuse as follows:

1.Open the top flap of the Pocket Generator™, carrying case. The main fuse holder’s screw-on/off cap will immediately be visible.

2.Unscrew the fuse holder cap and remove the fuse.

3.Replace with a new 10-amp fuse, if needed.

4.	Screw fuse holder cap back on.	1
5.	Close case securely.	2
