Read All Instructions Before Using This Power Inverter!
WARNINGS:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring
• NOT approved for ignition protected areas. Do not make any electrical connections or
disconnections in areas designated as IGNITION PROTECTED
• This is not a toy - keep away from children
CAUTIONS:
• This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that produce heat, such
as hair dryers, microwave ovens and toasters
• This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with
cables that are not able to supply full power. Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables
that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge. Marine installations are also subjected to
vibration and stresses that exceed those of other mobile installations. Therefore, the
installer/operator should be especially aware of the requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-
resistant electrical connections and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring.
Cable insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.
CAUTION: Always inspect battery supply connections and cables to ensure they are tight and that
cable insulation is not damaged.
