WARNINGS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:

•Do not connect to AC distribution wiring

•Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before working on the appliance

•DO NOT place inverters in an area, room or compartment where explosive or flammable fumes might be present

•Using power strips, with switches and circuit breakers, only interrupt power to the “hot” receptacle terminals. The “neutral” terminals remain powered with respect to the “ground” terminals

•Always unplug appliances when servicing

•This is not a toy - keep away from children

CAUTIONS

•NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS INSIDE;

OPENING UNIT WILL VOID WARRANTY; TO SERVICE INVERTERS CONTACT SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT (866) 584-5504

•Do not install in engine compartment - install in a well ventilated area

•Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority of modern automobiles, RVs, trucks and boats are negative ground)

•Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse, may cause permanent damage to the inverter and will void the warranty

•This inverter will not operate appliances or equipment that exceed inverters maximum rating

•Grounding the Neutral will cause the inverter to shut down

•Do not operate this inverter if it is wet

•Not approved for use with medical equipment

IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION

Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results when inverters are installed with cables that are not able to supply full power. Low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge. The installer/operator should be aware of all installation requirements to maintain secure, electrical connections. Cable insulation and ampacity must be the appropriate type for the environment. To purchase a prepared cable and fuse set, contact Technical Support at (954) 584-4446 or toll-free (866) 584-5504.
