• do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. The ideal air
temperature for operation is between 30º and 105ºF.
• Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly dis-
perse heat generated while it is in use.
• While in use, make sure there are several inches of clear-
ance around the top and sides of the inverter.
• Do not use the inverter near flammable materials.
• do not place or install the inverter in areas such as bat-
tery or engine compartments where fumes or gases may
accumulate.
• only connect the power inverter to a 12-volt battery. Con-
necting to a 6V or 16V battery will cause damage to the
inverter.
• only connect the power inverter to a 12-volt battery with
the supplied 12-volt power cords. Make sure the cord
connections to the inverter are tight.
• do not modify the positive and negative cables or plug in
any way.
• Make sure the power consumption of the device or equip-
ment you want to operate is compatible with the capacity
of the inverter, and does not exceed 1500 watts.
• If you are using the power inverter to operate battery
charger, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for
about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnor-
mally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
