2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning
Before installing and using this inverter, read and follow the safety information below.
2-1 General safety precautions
2-1-1. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust.
To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment, may result in overheating.
2-1-2.To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
2-1-3.This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in
locations where require ignition protected equipment, this includes any space containing gasoline-
powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the
fuel system.
2-2. Precautions when working with batteries
2-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flush eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
2-2-2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting sparks or short-circuits on the battery of other
electrical part may cause an explosion.
2-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with
a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring
or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a KickAss Pure Sine Wave Digital Inverter. This unit converts 12V DC to
240V AC using intelligent electronics, so you can operate and run mains powered devices from a
suitable sized 12V battery. As inverters output hazardous voltages, please ensure all instructions
are read carefully before use.
