great physical harm.

• NEVER operate in rain or snow, set on wet surfaces, immerse in liquid, or use in marine

applications.

• NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles.

• NEVER use electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.

• NEVER use power inverter for any purpose other than its intended use.

• NEVER place the power inverter near the vehicle’s heat vent or in direct sunlight as this

prevents proper cooling.

• NEVER use the power inverter if it is damaged; replace immediately.

• NEVER open the power inverter. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

power inverter is NOT approved for ignition protected areas such as marine applications.

• NEVER insert foreign objects into the AC or USB outlets.

• ALWAYS disconnect the power inverter AND appliances from the power supply when not

in use.

• The inverter produces the same potentially lethal AC power as a household outlet. It is

suggested that it be treated as such.

• Store indoors in a dry location out of reach of children.

• Some appliances are not recommended for use with this power inverter. See “Appliance

Wattage Information” for further details.

• Use only UL-listed, three-prong extension cords intended for outdoor use when connecting

appliances to the power inverter outdoors. Use the proper size (wire-gauge) extension cord

to handle the electric load that will be plugged into it.

MEDICAL AND LIFE SUPPORT USES

• In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.

• NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life support appliances.

• NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical appliances.

• Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in your household depends on

electrical equipment to live.

• Inform your electricity provider immediately if a loss of power would cause you or anyone

in your household to experience a medical emergency.

Safety Rules

FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS

NEVER operate near flammable materials, fumes, or gases.

• NEVER expose to extreme heat or flames.

• ALWAYS install the power inverter in a location not likely to come into contact with skin as

the surface may become hot.

• NEVER operate the power inverter near fumes or gases (such as the cabin of a gasoline

power boat or near propane tanks) or in an enclosed area that contains lead-acid batteries

for automotive use. This type of battery emits explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited

by sparks.

Battery gases are explosive.

• NEVER allow open flames, lit cigarettes, sparks, or spark producing equipment near the

battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric acid, which can

be very dangerous and cause severe burns.

• NEVER allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or clothing. If contact or spillage occurs,

immediately flush the area with water.

To avoid electric arcing, which can result in electric shock, follow

these instructions exactly.

Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries, can cause

electric shock.

• NEVER touch both battery terminals with bare hands at the same time.

• Remove rings, watches or any other object containing metal when working with battery.

If metal comes into contact with battery terminals, electric shock and serious burns can

result.

• Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when working with or near battery.

• NEVER lay tools or other metal objects on top of battery.

• NEVER operate in rain or snow, set on wet surfaces, immerse in liquid, or use in marine

applications.

Safety Rules

• ALWAYS make sure connections are made to the correct terminal. Damage due to reversed

polarity is not covered by warranty.

• NEVER connect or set up the power inverter or appliances while operating a vehicle. Not

paying attention to the road may result in a serious accident.

• NEVER plug the power inverter into a location that interferes with the vehicle controls (i.e.

near the gear shift lever).

• ALWAYS use the power inverter where there is adequate ventilation.

• NEVER block ventilation slots. NEVER install in an engine compartment or in any enclosed
