Lead Acid Battery Safety Warnings CA Prop 65 WARNING: Batteries contain lead and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING: WORKING AROUND LEAD‐ACID BATTERIES MAY BE DANGEROUS. • • • • Lead‐acid batteries release explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting.
Electrical Safety Warnings WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury or death. WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power supply, always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the nameplate of the tool. A power supply with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
Electrical Safety Warnings (Continued) WARNING: If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug‐in GFCI between the power tool or extension cord and the power receptacle. WARNING: If an extension cord is necessary, use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor Use”. Those cords having a 3‐prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be used with grounded tools.
Inverter Safety Warnings (Continued) WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING: With use, the inverter will become warm and possibly hot. Keep it away from any heat sensitive materials.
Getting Started When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is referred to as "continuous load" in terms of power requirements.

Make sure the ON/OFF rocker switch located on the front panel of the inverter is in the OFF (0) position.
Note • • • • • • Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage, which may cause damage to the wires and insulation. Failure to make a proper connection between the inverter and the power source will result in reverse polarity. Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the warranty.
Blown Power Inverter Fuses Your power inverter is equipped with a 20‐amp spade type fuse. With reasonable care it should not be necessary to replace these fuses. Most blown fuses are the result of reverse polarity or a short circuit within the appliance or equipment being operated. If the fuse happens to blow, disconnect the appliance or equipment immediately, find the source of the problem, repair it, and then install a new fuse.
How Power Inverters Work (Continued) inverters with the capability to start and run difficult reactive loads, while providing excellent overload capability. The waveform that is generated by this conversion is a "modified sine wave" as shown in the diagram below. The modified sine wave produced by our inverters has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage ? Reason: Poor contact with lighter socket or battery clamps 9 Solution: Unplug and reinsert 12 volt plug or reattach battery clamps. ? Reason: Using incorrect type of voltmeter to test output voltage. 9 Solution: Use true RMS reading meter.
TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued) PROBLEM: TV Does Not Work ? Reason: TV does not turn on. 9 Solution: Try turning the inverter ON/OFF/ON. Contact TV manufacturer for startup surge specifications and/or to see if the TV is compatible with a modified sine wave. A larger inverter may be required. SPECIFICATIONS Max.
