not use more than 80 watts during
continuous operation, otherwise the
Inverter may overload.
Note: This unit has an automatic shut off
feature if output is over 125 watts or if
input is under 10.5VDC.
caution: Some rechargeable appliances
may damage the Power Inverter
or the appliance. When first using
a rechargeable device, check the
inverter’s temperature for the first 10
minutes. If it becomes abnormally
hot, do not use this device with the
Inverter.
caution: It is recommended that the ve-
hicle be running when you first con-
nect the Power Inverter. Thereafter
the engine can be on or off. If you run
the Power Inverter with the engine
off it is recommended that you start
and run the engine every hour for at
least 10 minutes to recharge the bat-
tery. Doing this will help prevent any
unexpected shutdown of the equip-
ment. This will also help ensure that
there will be enough battery power
to start the vehicle. due to the risk
of carbon monoxide inhalation, do
not run the vehicle’s engine within
an enclosed area.
You should not use your car battery
to power the Inverter for extended pe-
riods of time with appliances requir-
ing high continuous load levels. The
battery may become drained to the
point that it will not be able to start
your car.
Note: Deep cycle (marine and RV) bat-
teries can be charged more times
than a car battery, and are a better
choice for repeated use of the Power
Inverter.
Do not discharge your car battery
more than 10% of its total capacity,
and deep cycle batteries more than a
50% discharged state.
