3-7. Inverter Operation
To operate the power inverter, turn it on by using the ON/OFF switch on the
front panel. The power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your
loads. If you are operating several loads from the power inverter, turn them
on separately after the inverter has been turned on.
This will ensure that the power inverter does not have to deliver the starting
currents for all the loads at once.

switch in the OFF position.
3-7-2. Connect the cables to the power input terminals on the year panel of
power inverter.
The terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is negative (-).
Insert the cables into the terminals and tighten allen nut to clamp the
wires securely.

connected does tie negative terminal of inverter to the negative output
power source.
3-7-4. Connect the cable from the negative terminal of the inverter to the
negative terminal of the power source. Make a secure connection.
