terminal and connect Ջ from inverter to Ջ of battery  
terminal)  
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC  
power source.  
CAUTION:  
THE FOLLOWINGS OPERATION WILL DAMAGE AND  
VOID THE WARRANTY OF THE INVERTER:  
Keep it away from children, the inverter produces power

DISCONNECTING THE INVERTER FIRST.  
CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO POWER  
SOURCE GREATER THAN 15-VOLT DC.  
OPERATING THE INVERTER AND BATTERY IN  
OR AROUND WATER.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
HEAT DISPERSAL  
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is  
not a malfunction. However, if the inverter gets too hot  
while working, it will turn off by itself.  
Position the inverter where air flows freely around it to  
allow the heat to disperse.  
Condition  
Solution  
Poor contact  
Battery voltage is  
too low  
Clean contact parts thoroughly  
Start the engine to recharge the  
battery. Replace the battery if  
needed.  
The inverter’s thermal protection prevents it from  
operating when its temperature exceeds 130 10 qF / 55
