1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this inverter. This simple inverter is designed to power your home appliances or
precious 3C electronics. It also can handle motor-type loads with high surge power such as vacuums, small
freezers, or drills.
This manual is for qualified personnel. The tasks described in this manual may be performed by qualified
personnel only.
2. Important Safety Warning (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, this
manual and the batteries.
General Precaution-
CAUTION! The unit is designed for indoor use. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified batteries from qualified distributors or manufacturers.
Any unqualified batteries may cause damage and injury. Do NOT use old or overdue batteries. Please check the
battery type and date code before installation to avoid damage and injury.
CAUTION! Authorized service personnel should reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting AC, DC and
battery power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits
connected to the inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors can remain charged
for 5 minutes after disconnecting all sources of power.
CAUTION! Do not disassemble this inverter yourself. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempt to service
this inverter yourself may cause a risk of electrical shock or fire and will void the warranty from the
Manufacturer.
CAUTION! To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that
the wire is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the cooling fan.
CAUTION! Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way. If the inverter is damaged, called for an RMA (Return Material Authorization).
WARNING: There are no user-replaceable parts inside of the inverter. Do not attempt to service the unit
yourself.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate external battery
cable. To reduce risk of injury, external battery cables should be UL certified and rated for 105°C or higher. And
do not use copper cables less than 6AWG or 10AWG*2.
CAUTION! Do not disassemble the inverter. Contact with the qualified service center when service or repair is
required.
WARNING! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment. The battery enclosure should be
designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.
CAUTION! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing or working with the inverter,
the batteries, or other equipments attached to this unit.
CAUTION! For battery installation and maintenance, read the battery manufacturer's installation and
maintenance instructions prior to operating.
Personnel Precaution -
CAUTION! Careful to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the batteries. It could spark or short circuit the
batteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTION! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with
batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to make metal melt, and could cause severe
burns.
CAUTION! Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
CAUTION! Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Conventions used:
WARNING! Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury;
CAUTION! Caution identify conditions or practices that could result in damaged to the unit or other
equipment connected.

2
CAUTION! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
CAUTION! If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit or
disconnect the generator to prevent accident during servicing.
