WARNING: Heat Hazard
The PG1800WP’s internal inverter components may become uncomfortably
warm, reaching 140°F (60°C) during prolonged operation. Ensure at least 6” (15
cm) of air space is maintained on all sides and on top of PG1800WP. During
operation, keep away from materials that could be ignited by high temperatures
such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags, etc.
CAUTION: This system should not be operated in environments where the
ambient air temperature is over 104°F (40°C).
Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances
Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage
charging output. Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be
damaged if connected to the PG1800WP.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When the PG1800WP produces modied sine wave electricity, which is different
from pure sine wave utility-supplied electricity. Certain types of load equipment
may be damaged by modied sine wave electricity. Some examples include:
• Small battery-operated appliances like ashlights, razors, and night lights that
can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and
other loads may be damaged.
• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.
IMPORTANT: If you are unsure about using your appliance with the
PG1800WP, contact the equipment’s manufacturer to nd out if there are high
voltages at the battery terminals or if the appliance incorporates the use of
transformers.
