5.Place the black ring connector on the black (negative –) DC terminal, and then screw the black nut on until it is snug. Do not over tighten.

Note: A spark may occur when you make this connection. This is normal.

6.Check that both clips are securely connected to the battery terminals. A loose connection will cause excessive voltage drop and may cause the cables to overheat. This could result in equipment damage or fire.

7.Turn on the On/Standby switch. The green PWR light comes on, and AC power is available at the outlet.

Hardwiring the Inverter to the Battery

Loads of any size (up to 300 watts continuous power) For a permanent electrical connection, or when you need to power some loads that are greater than 150 watts and some that are less than 150 watts, you can hardwire the inverter to the battery. This eliminates the need to switch between the battery clip wire assembly and the cigarette plug wire assembly. A hardwired installation is illustrated in Figure 6.

Warning! Shock and fire hazard.

Use a qualified installer to perform a hardwired connection.
