If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need  
to secure the inverter to prevent it from shifting around  
while the vehicle is moving.  
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all  
of the power.  
MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE  
The output waveform of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED  
SINEWAVE. To measure the AC output voltage, you  
must use a TRUE RMS VOLTMETER.

power  
MAINTENANCE  
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter  
operating properly.  
HINTS  
Adding Extension Cord  
DESCRIPTION  
If you need extension cord, we recommend the use of an  
extension cord between the AC output of inverter and  
AC appliances. You may use up to 100 ft. of high quality  
extension cord. A long cord will result in reduced output  
power.  
1000W Peak Power — allow you to power appliances  
that require a large amount of initial (peak) power to  
work (such as many TVs and motor-power equipments).  
Low Battery Alarm — the inverter sounds an audible  
alarm then turns itself off if the source battery becomes  
too low.  
Buzz in audio system  
Some stereo systems and “boom boxes” will emit a  
buzzing noise from their loudspeakers when operated  
from the power inverter because the power supply in the  
device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave  
produced by the power inverter. The only solution is to  
use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality  
power supply.  
Auto Shutdown/Reset Protection — the inverter  
temporarily shuts itself down to protect itself from  
overheating.  
Overload/Short Circuit Protection — the inverter  
automatically turns itself off if the connected load is too  
high or if it shorts.  
Operating a TV  
Picture tubes have a degaussing coil that uses a high  
initial surge of power to light up the screen from a “cold  
start”. If the TV does not start up on the first try, switch  
ON the TV every 2 - 3 seconds until the screen comes  
on. Sometimes, it may take 2-5 tries before starting.  
Fuse — the inverter comes with fuse/s already installed  
and easily changed if it is damaged.  
Dual AC Outlets — allows you to power up to two  
appliances at the same time.  
Television interference  
Operating of the power inverter can interfere with  
television reception on some channels. If this situation  
occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the  
problem.  
1. Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back  
of the power inverter is solidly connected to the  
ground system of your vehicles.  
2. Do not operate high power loads with the power  
inverter while watching television.

HEAT DISPERSAL  
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is  
not a malfunction. However, if the inverter gets too hot  
while working, it will turn off by itself.  
Position the inverter where air flows freely around it to  
allow the heat to disperse.  
The inverter’s thermal protection prevents it from  
operating when its temperature exceeds 130 10 qF / 55  
5 qC.
