IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE USING THE POWER INVERTER TO
OPERATE ANY TYPE OF BATTERY CHARGER, MONITOR THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE BATTERY CHARGER FOR ABOUT 10
MINUTES. IF THE BATTERY CHARGER BECOME
ABNORMALLY WARM, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE INVERTER
IMMEDIATELY.
Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of power overload, the inverter is designed to
automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing
devices and equipment with the 200-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start once device at a time to
avoid the power surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of
each device should not exceed the inverter's Continuous Operation
wattage rate.
CAUTION
You can use EXTENSION CORD from the inverter to the device
without significantly decreasing the power being generated by the
inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be
16AWG (1.31 mm2) or larger and suggest no longer than 50 feet.
IMPORTANT: This inverter uses a modified sine waveform, which
is not quite the same as power company electricity. For the
following devices, we strongly recommend that you use caution
and check the device's manual to make sure it is compatible with
modified sine waveform.
