Where to install. The power inverter should be installed in a location that
meets the following requirements:
3-4-1. Dry － Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
3-4-2. Cool － Ambient air temperature should be between 0˚C
3-4-3. Safe － Do not install in a battery compartment or other areas where
flammable fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine
compartments.
3-4-4. Ventilated － Allow at least three inch of clearance around the inverter
for air flow. Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and front of
the unit are not obstructed.
3-4-5. Dust-free － Do not install the Inverter in a dusty environments where
