Thank you for the purchase of a
Tundra International product!

In order to get the most out of your
inverter, it must be installed and used
properly. Please thoroughly read this
manual before installing and using your
new inverter.

It is important to pay special attention

to the “WARNING” statements in this

manual as well as on the inverter.

How to use your new inverter

If you want to use the current from your
inverter, put the specially designed plug
in the cigarette lighter socket and turn on
the inverter. A green light will turn on
and the inverter will be ready to deliver
120 volts power.

WARNING: It is extremely
inadvisable to increase the
amperage of the car fuse; this

would overheat the car’s wires

and may cause fire.

Specifications

Placement and storage

Place the inverter in a dry and cool
environment and avoid putting it under
the sunshine or near a heat source. Do
not place it near any flammable or easy
melting materials.

WARNING!

 Do not use if the power source is not

12 volts.

 When you stop using the inverter, be

sure to pull out the plug.

 Because the temperature of the metal

pieces of the inverter might be high,
do not place it near any flammable or
easy melting materials.

 The voltage protection system will

automatically shut off the inverter if
the input voltage is too low. Start
your car engine to charge the battery,
or stop using the inverter.

 Be sure your inverter is OFF when

starting the vehicle engine.

 Stop using the inverter if the power

cord/plug has been damaged or
loosen. Have it repaired before using
it again.

 Do not insert any object in the

inverter; it may cause fire, electric
shock or short circuit.

 If there is any abnormal noise, smell

or smoke, turn off immediately the
inverter and contact your retailer.

 Do not allow water drip or splash on

the inverter. Do not touch the case or
the power cord with wet hands.

 Do not attempt any reparation or

modification; it may cause electric
shock or fire. When needed, contact
your retailer.

 If the inverter has been exposed to

rain, moisture, or strong impact, have
it inspected by a qualified technician
before use.

Maintenance

Be sure to disconnect the inverter from
the lighter plug before cleaning, and use
only a dry cloth to do so.

WARNING! The inverter must
never be exposed to water or
humidity.

 If the consumption power is over the

inverter capacity, the over load
protection system will automatically
shut off the inverter. If the inverter

doesn’t come ON again by himself,

to turn it on again, decrease the
consumption and turn the switch to
OFF position and then to ON.

 The modified sine wave produced by

the inverter may cause some buzzing
and lines on audio and video
equipment.

 We strongly recommend using a Pure

Sine Wave inverter for all of your
electronic sensitive equipments.

It is important to pay special attention

to the “WARNING” statements in this

manual as well as on the inverter.

How to use your new inverter

If you want to use the current from the
cigarette lighter, use the cables included
with the inverter and fix each end solidly
on the inverter, put the specially
designed plug in the cigarette lighter
socket and turn on the inverter. A green
light will turn on and the inverter will be
ready to deliver 120 volts power. We do
not recommend using the cigarette
lighter plug if you plan to need more
than 240 watts; this could burn the
protective fuse in the dashboard.

WARNING! It is extremely
inadvisable to increase the
amperage of the car fuse; this

would overheat the car’s wires

and may cause fire.

If you want to plug your inverter directly

on the car’s battery, use the cables

included with the inverter and fix each
end solidly on the inverter and the
battery. Without tightening them too
much, the terminals must not be able to
move around. The cables must go from
the positive terminal of the inverter to
the positive terminal of the battery, and
from the negative terminal of the inverter
to the negative terminal of the battery.

It is also possible to install the inverter
permanently into your vehicle by using
AWG #8 cables (3 meters max.) and a
30A fuse mounted as close as possible to
the battery. Only a qualified technician
must perform this procedure.

Before using the inverter, make sure that
the total amount of current asked will not
exceed the capacity of the inverter (350
watts).

WARNING! Reversing the
polarity when connecting the
DC cables will permanently
damage your inverter. THIS IS
NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
