CONNECTING INVERTER CABLES

The inverter and power source must be in the OFF mode.
Make sure to connect the inverter to a 12 volt power supply only.
Inverter Connection:
1. Locate the positive and negative plastic terminals located on the right side of the
inverter.
2. Remove the red positive (+) plastic cover by squeezing the two rigged areas.
3.
Remove the nut and bolt from the terminal.
4. Slide the red protective cover over the red cable in the correct orientation.
5. Using the nut and bolt you removed, attach the red cable to the positive (+) terminal.
Tighten the terminal so that the cable cannot come loose but do not over tighten.
6.
Remove the black negative (-) plastic cover by squeezing the two ridged areas.
7. Remove the nut and bolt from the terminal.
8. Slide the black protective cover over the black cable in the correct orientation.
9. Using the nut and bolt you removed, attach the black cable to the negative (-) terminal.
Tighten the terminal so that the cable cannot come loose but do not overtighten.
Connecting Inverter Cable to 12V Battery or 12V Power Source:
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
1. Keep hands, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of battery terminals.
2. Wear eye protection and clothing protection.
3. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) terminal from the
inverter to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) terminal to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the terminal to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
4. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) terminal from the
inverter to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) terminal to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
Do not connect the terminal to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
5. To disconnect the inverter, reverse the above steps.
NOTE: The internal speaker may make a brief "beep" when the inverter is being connected to
or disconnected from the 12 volt power source.
Failure to make the correct connections will result in blown fuses and
permanent damage to the inverter.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS
A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
