To connect the inverter to a 12 volt battery using the battery clip wire assembly:

1.Remove the nuts from the DC terminals on the inverter.

2.Place the red ring connector on the red (positive +) DC terminal, and then screw the red nut on until it is snug. Do not over tighten.

3.Attach the red clip to the red (positive +) battery terminal.

4.Attach the black clip to the black (negative –) battery terminal.

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.
