2. Important Safety Informati on

For safe and optimum performance, the inverter must be installed and used properly. Carefully read and
follow the guidelines below:

Warning

The inverter prod uces the sam e AC power as normal household outlets and thus has a shock hazard. Please do

not allow children to use the inverters unattended

• Be sure that there i s at le as t 2 in (5cm) of unobstructed air space around the entire surface (top and sides)

of the inverter at all times. During use, do not place materials that could be damaged by heat near the
unit.

• Do not operate the unit near flammable fumes or gases, such as near propane tanks

• Do not operate the unit in an enclosed area that contains lead-acid batteries. This type of battery emits

explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by spark.

• Connect AC devices before DC ones or the components built into the inverter can become energized

producing an electrical shock hazard.

• Do not connect the unit to live AC power circuits or there would be damage to the inverter.

• Connect the unit to only to 12V DC power supplies (6V is too low, and 24V will damage the unit).

• Do not insert any foreign objects into the unit outlets, vents or fan openings.

• Do not expose the unit to rain, water or any other liquid.

3

• Do not connect the unit to any utility power distribution systems or branch circuits.

• Do not use the inverter in temperatures over 104(40℃) or under 32(0℃).

Caution

Do not use the unit on the following items:

 Small nickel-cadmium battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors and nightlights
 Battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tool that have a warnin g label indicating dangerous

voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Caution – 2000W and 3000W

When using ABOVE 1000W, please make sure you use the same standard cable kits and same standard battery or
battery kits. Failure to do so will damage the inverter.

Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in personal injury and/or the damage to the unit. It may
also void the warranty.
