Dear
Custoiners,
Thank
youforyourpreferredchoiceinpurchasing
our
Powertechinverters.
Ourpower
inverterseries
aredesigned
tobe
your
bestcompanionathome,
in the offrce,whentravelling,outdoorscamping,
at se4 etc.Low DC
currentis converted
into AC current
to run your householdandofftce
appliance.
ThatiswhyPowertech
inverterseries
can
b-e-
usedto operate
mostTVs, VCRS,sound
systems,
PCs& laptops,
refrigerators,
handytools, among
others.
Definitely a mustto stay in
control
whenever
and
wherever
you
are.
Youwill have
to installanduse
yourPowertech

GENERAL SAFETY,INSTALLATION, &OPERATING GT]IDELINES
Pre-installation
Testing
This process
is to determine
whether
your inverter will operate_a
specific
equiphent or appliance.
Your inverteris desigrred
to automaticallyshut-off
inthb eventof i power overload.Testing
equipment/applianc-e
withstart up
load ratings comparable
to the maximum wattagerating of your inverter
will notdamage
it.
Some refrigerators, freezers, pumps and other similar equipment and
appliances
iequire very high startup loads
to operate.
Beforeattempling
to
pbwer up this type'of -equipmentor appliance,make sure that all
ionnectionshave-been
properlymade
andthat the powersource
is fully
charged.Then, follow siep-bystepprocedures
for OperationalGuidelines
