1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.1 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual will show you how to use your converter
safely and effectively. Please read, understand and follow these instructions and
precautions carefully, as this manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
WARNING: The converter output is 120V AC and can shock or electrocute the
same as any ordinary household AC wall outlet.
1.2 Do not cover or obstruct the converter’s vents.
1.3 Use the converter in a well-ventilated area.
1.4 This converter is not intended for use by children.
1.5 Do not expose the converter to rain or snow.
1.6 Ensure that the converter is located away from normal trafc areas.
1.7 Use only accessories recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
1.8 Do not operate the converter with damaged or undersized wiring.
1.9 Do not operate the converter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualied service person.
1.10 Do not disassemble the converter; take it to a qualied service person when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of re or electric shock.
1.11 Make sure the converter is not close to any potential source of ammable fumes,
gases or clothing.
1.12 Do not place the converter in areas such as battery compartments or engine
compartments where fumes or gases may accumulate.
1.13 Disconnect both AC and DC power from the converter before attempting any cleaning.
1.14 DO NOT operate the converter if you, the converter, the device being operated or any
other surfaces that may come into contact with any power source are wet. Water and
many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death.
1.15 Do not place the converter in direct sunlight. The ideal air temperature for
operation is between 50° and 80°F.
1.16 Only connect the power converter to a 12 volt accessory outlet or 12 volt battery.
1.17 Do not attempt to connect the converter to any other power source, including an
AC power source. Connecting to a 6 volt or 16 volt battery will cause damage to
the converter.
1.18 Do not modify the USB port or AC receptacles in any way.
1.19 Do not try extending or otherwise changing the 12 volt power cord attached to
your converter.

1.20 Incorrect operation of your converter may result in damage and personal injury.
1.21 This device does not include an internal Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
For GFCI protection, use a Coleman Cable 02822 GFCI outlet.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Restrictions on Use: This converter may not be used with life support devices or
systems. Failure of this converter can reasonably be expected to cause failure of that life
support device or system, or to affect the safety or effectiveness of that device or system.
2.2 Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working near lead-acid batteries.
Always have someone nearby for help.
2.3 Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current
high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.4 Never smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
2.5 WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
3. BEFORE USING YOUR CONVERTER
• This converter is designed to be used with a single battery, up to group 31
(130 Ah or smaller). The recommended source of power is a 12 Volt deep-
cycle battery, due to their high reserve capacity. Automotive batteries are
recommended for only a short period of time of an hour or less.
• Do not use the converter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause damage to the converter and product.
When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device goes through 2 stages:
1. Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the
“starting” or “peak” load).
2. Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as the
“continuous load”).
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or
printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user’s manual. Otherwise,
contact the manufacturer to nd out whether the device you want to use is
compatible with a modied sine wave.
To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x wattage.
In general, the startup load of the device or power tool determines whether your
converter has the capability to power it.

• 5•
Always run a test to establish whether the converter will operate a particular
piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the converter is
designed to automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging the converter while testing devices and
equipment within the wattage range of the converter.
When using the vehicle’s 12 volt accessory port, this converter is designed to
supply 60 to 70 watts when the vehicle is not running. With the vehicle’s engine
running, it can supply up to 100 watts. To use the full output, you must connect the
converter directly to your battery.
NOTE: The 100 watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles.
Some vehicles may allow the full output. If the vehicle fuse blows when you switch
on the device you are trying to use, you have to either use a smaller device or you
must connect the converter directly to the battery.
IMPORTANT: This converter uses a modied sine waveform (diagram A) which
is not quite the same as power company electricity (diagram B). For the following
devices, we strongly recommend that you use caution and check the device’s
manual to make sure it is compatible with modied sine waveform.
1. Switch mode power supplies
2. Linear power supplies
3. Class 2 transformers
4. Line lter capacitors
5. Shaded pole motors
6. Fan motors
7. Microwave ovens
8. Fluorescent and high intensity lamps (with a ballast)
9. Transformer less battery chargers
Using the converter with any of these devices may cause the device to run warmer
or overheat.

IMPORTANT: If you are using the power converter to operate a battery charger,
monitor the temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery
charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the converter immediately.
