batteries, flammable materials or fumes, or in a location containing gasoline-powered
machinery, or joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel
system.
WARNING: Keep Children away from the inverter and its components!
The same potentially hazardous or lethal AC power that is found in a normal household
110AC power outlet can be found in the TruePower inverter.
WARNING: Low Voltage - Electrical burn and spark hazard.
Disconnect battery power before servicing.
WARNING: Restrictions on Use
The TruePower inverter shall not be used in connection with life support systems or
other medical equipment or devices.
Installation Recommendations & Requirements include the following:
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)
The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
The U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC)

Guide to Operation
General Advisory
Install your TruePower Inverter to the guidelines recommended in this manual. The
TruePower Inverter is designed to meet UL 458, CE and ABYC standards.
General Operation
The TruePower Inverters series are modified sine wave inverters which convert
12 volt direct-current (DC) power from your batteries to 120 volts alternating current
(AC) power. The inverter allows you to have AC power when and where you need
it. The TruePower Inverter comes equipped with numerous protection features to
provide you safe and worry-free operation. Please see the following sections of
the manual for Inverter Features, Installation instructions, Testing instructions,
Operation and Troubleshooting.

rated appliance.
Fan runs all the time.
Possible Cause:
- The power rating of the appliance is too high.
Solution:
- No action. The fan will run at full speed when the inverter is powering a higher
rated appliance.
Possible Cause:
