CAUTIONS
•
DO
NOT plug in battery chargers for cordless power
tools if the charger carries a warning that dangerous
voltages are present at the battery terminals.
• Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium
or
nickel-
metal-hydride batteries can be damaged
if
powered by
this inverter. Two types
of
appliances are susceptible to
damage: Small, battery-operated appliances such as
flashlights, cordless razors and toothbrushes that plug
directly into an AC receptacle.
• Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly
increase in speed
(RPM)
when powered
by
the inverter.
This is
not
harmful
to
the fan
or

of
a continuous audible alarm
or
automatic
shut down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do
not
restart the inverter until the source
of
the problem has
been identified and corrected.
• When using your PowerDrive inverter
to
power lead acid
battery chargers (Like those used
for
a car,boat
or
motorcycle) with modified sine wave, check the
temperature
of
the battery charger after 1 O minutes. If the
battery charger becomes hot, immediately disconnect it
from the inverter and allow it
to
cool before resuming the
charging operation.
