•Never attempt to operate your Whistler inverter from any power source other than a 12 volt battery or a group of batteries that total 12 volts.
•Always make certain that the power cable terminal connections run Negative
OPERATION SUMMARY
•Make certain the rated power consumption of the appliance or equipment you wish to operate is compatible with the capacity of your inverter.
•If the rated power consumption of the equipment is in the range of the maximum specified wattage of your converter, test the inverter to ensure that it will operate properly.
•Before attempting to use a battery charger see page 19.
•Before attempting to use medical equipment see page 8.
•Use the heaviest gauge wire (smaller the number, the larger or heavier the cable) available to connect the inverter to the power source.
•When operating the inverter with the engine off, start the engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it run for at least 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
•In the event of automatic shut down, turn the inverter OFF (O) immediately. Do not restart the inverter until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
•To avoid battery drain always disconnect the inverter when the vehicle is not in use for long periods.
•Do not expose the inverter to moisture.
