other equipment.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Keep children away from the inverter. The inverter generates
the same lethal power as a normal household wall outlet.
Treat the AC outlet with respect!
WARNING: Heated Surface
The inverter housing may become uncomfortably warm,
reaching 60° C (140° F) under extended high power operation.
Ensure that at least 5 cm (2 inches) of air surround the
inverter. During operation, keep it away from materials that
may be affected by high temperatures.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard
D
o not use the inverter in the presence of fl ammable fumes
or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat,
or near propane tanks. Do not use the inverter in an enclosure
containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These batteries,
unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be
ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
WARNING: Crash Hazard
V
ehicle drivers should not confi gure or troubleshoot the
Vehicle drivers should not confi gure or troubleshoot the V
inverter while they are driving the vehicle.
CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal
S
ome chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be
damaged if connected to the inverter.
Do not use the inverter with the following equipment:
• Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable fl ashlights,
some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly
into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Battery chargers used in hand power tools. These chargers display
a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the
charger battery terminals.
7
CAUTION:
D
o not connect live AC power to the inverterʼs AC outlets.
The inverter will be damaged even if it is turned off.
Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral conductor
connected to ground to the inverter.
CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock, equipment damage, and
personal injury
• Do not insert foreign objects in the inverter outlets or other
openings.
• Never connect the inverter to power utility AC distribution
wiring.
• Do not use the inverter in temperatures over 40° C (100° F).
• Do not expose the inverter to water, rain, snow, or spray.
Failure to follow these safety guidelines may cause personal injury
and/or damage to the inverter. It may also void your product warranty.
