OPERATING
TIPS
The inverter should only be operated in locations that are:
a.
Dry:
Do not allow water
or
other liquids
to
come into
contact with the inverter.
b.
Cool:
Surrounding air temperature should ideally be
32°F and 104°F. Keep the inverter away from direct
sunlight, when possible.
c.
Well-Ventilated:
Keep the area surround'ing the inverter
clear
to
ensure free air circulation around the unit. Do
not place items on
or
over the inverter during
operation. The unit will shut down
if
the internal
temperature gets
too
hot. The inverter will auto-reset
after
it
cools down. ·
d.
Safe:
Do
not
use the inverter near flammable materials
or in any locations that may accumulate flammable
fumes
or
gases. This is an electrical appliance that can
briefly spark when electrical connections are made
or
broken.
Please find the continuous output power
of

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 the
"continuous
load"
in
terms
of
power requirements.
