Using the Battery Clip Wire Assembly

Warning! Corrosive materials and energy hazard.

To reduce the risk of irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and clothing when you work with batteries.

Take special care to ensure that metal tools or personal objects like rings or watches do not contact the battery terminals.

Caution! Risk of damage to the 500 Inverter.

Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will damage the inverter and void your warranty.

When you connect the inverter to the battery, double check the connections. The red wire must be connected to the red (+) terminal on the inverter and the positive (+) terminal on the battery. The black wire must be connected to the black (–) terminal on the inverter and the negative (–) terminal on the battery.

Caution! Fire hazard.

The wires in most 12 volt sockets or power outlets are not large enough for loads greater than 150 watts: they will overheat and present a fire hazard.

For loads greater than 150 watts, connect the inverter directly to the battery and use appropriately sized wires like those in the battery clip wire assembly provided with the inverter.
