Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
▲DANGER! - Beware, lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
9Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush immediately with cool
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
8DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
9If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching the clips.
WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area,
or allow them to touch the battery terminals.
9Before attaching to battery, remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead acid
battery can produce a short-circuit current which is high enough to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
WARNING! DO NOT use on any vehicles other than those with 12Volt DC systems.
WARNING! For delicate items such as laptops, an anti-surge device is recommended.
8DO NOT install in compartment containing batteries or flammable liquids.
8DO NOT connect to any AC power source.
8DO NOT get inverter wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8DO NOT use the inverter for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
8DO NOT pull the cables or clips from the battery terminals.
8DO NOT operate the inverter if damaged.
8DO NOT connect to a positive earthed system. Ensure you have the polarity correct before connecting, red clip to positive (+)
battery terminal and black clip to negative (-) battery terminal.
8DO NOT obstruct ventilation or cover
9Before connecting ensure nothing is plugged into the inverter, and the inverter is switched OFF.
WARNING! Inverters become hot during use.
9When not in use store inverter in a safe, dry, childproof location.

4. SETUP & OPERATION
4.1. Power Source Requirements.
4.1.1. The inverter must be connected to a 12V DC negative earth system. DO NOT use with a positive earth system.
4.1.2. The power source must be capable of providing between 11.0V and 15.0V and able to supply the necessary current
to operate the load.
4.2. Connecting Battery Leads to Inverter.
4.2.1. To attach the Battery Leads loosen the terminal screws. (Fig.1).
4.2.2. Place the Red lead into the end of the terminal tighten the terminal screw.
4.2.3. Place the Black lead into the end of the terminal tighten the terminal screw.
4.3. Earth Connection.
4.3.1. The chassis earth
lug (See Fig.1) must be connected to an earthing point. In a vehicle connect the
chassis earth lug to the vehicles chassis. In a boat connect to the earthing system of the vessel. In a fixed location connect
to the ground.
4.4. Connecting to Battery Terminals.
4.4.1. Ensure battery terminals are clean, if necessary clean away any corrosion.
4.4.2. Check to make sure the inverter is turned OFF and no flammable fumes are present.
4.4.3. Undo the securing bolt for the red (+) battery terminal and secure the red battery lead to the red (+) terminal post on the battery.
4.4.4. Undo the securing bolt for the black (-) battery terminal and secure the black battery lead to the black (-) terminal post on the battery.
4.4.5. Check all connections are secure.
4.5. Connection to Load.
4.5.1. NOTE! Most electrical appliances, tools etc, have a rating plate indicating the power consumption in Amps or Watts. Use these ratings
to ensure you remain under the inverters maximum capacity. If the rating is shown in amps, multiply the value by the voltage (230V) to
determine the wattage.
4.5.2. Ensure that the inverter is switched OFF. Plug the equipment you wish to use into one of the inverter’s two 3 pin sockets or into the
USB port as required.
4.5.3. Make sure the load does not exceed the wattage rating of the inverter.
4.5.4. Switch the inverter on, check that everything is working and the green LED is lit.
WARNING! DO NOT. connect the inverter to any AC distribution wiring or any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor
is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.
4.5.5. NOTE! Some rechargeable devices do not operate well with a moderated sine wave inverter. They only operate from a standard
household outlet which provides a pure sine wave. It is recommended that these devices be operated from a standard household
outlet only. This problem does not occur with most battery operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into a separate AC socket.
4.6. Placement of Inverter.
4.6.1. For best and safest operation the inverter should be placed on a flat and stable surface.
4.6.2. Use only in a dry location, do not allow inverter to get wet.
4.6.3. Use in cool ambient temperature of between 5°C and 35°C. Do not place on or near a heating vent.
4.6.4. Allow sufficient space around the inverter for cooling. If the inverter overheats it will shut down and will not restart until it has cooled
down.
8DO NOT use near flammable materials or anywhere that flammable gasses could accumulate.
4.6.5. The inverter may become uncomfortably hot during extended periods of full power use.
WARNING! DO NOT place on or near materials that may be affected by heat.
4.7. Wattage Loading.
4.7.1. Inductive loads, such as TV’s and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
Induction motors, as well as some televisions, may require 2 to 6 times their wattage rating to start up. The most demanding in

4.8. Battery Operating Time.
4.8.1. With a typical vehicle battery, a minimum operating time of 1 to 2 hours can be expected depending on the load draw. It is
recommended that the operator starts the engine every hour to recharge the battery. This will prevent any unexpected
shut down of the equipment and will ensure that there is always sufficient battery capacity to start the vehicle. The inverter
may be used either with the engine running or turned off. However, the inverter must be switched OFF when starting the vehicle.
4.8.2. The inverter draws less than 0.45 Amperes from the battery when it is not supplying power to a load. In most cases, the inverter may
be left connected to the battery when it is not in use. If the vehicle will not be used for several days, disconnect the unit from the
battery.
