1. Introduction
The Go Power! Sine Wave series models are used in a wide range of applications
including remote homes, RVs, sailboats, and powerboats. It will operate most televisions
and VCRs, personal computers, small appliances, and tools such as drills, sanders,
grinders, mixers and blenders. The inverter must have a greater power rating than the
load that it is providing power for.
To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed and used properly. Please
read the instructions in this manual before installing and using this model.

4. Installation
4.1 Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
Caution!
Do not connect this inverter and another AC source (generator or utility power) to the AC
wiring or AC loads at the same time. Doing so will destroy the inverter and void the
warranty, regardless of the inverter’s on or off status. If you are using more than one AC
source for the AC wiring or AC loads, it is highly recommended that you install an
automatic transfer switch (GP-TS), available from Go-Power Electric Inc.
a) Dry - Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
b) Cool - Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C (the cooler the
better).
c) Ventilated - Allow at least two inches of clearance around the inverter for airflow.
Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not
obstructed.
d) Safe - Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries, or in any
compartment capable of igniting flammable liquids such as gasoline.
e) Inverter should be located within 10 feet of the batteries.
