INSTRUCTIONS.

GROUNDING

TO PREVENT

ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND DEATH FROM

INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:

Check with a qualied

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. Do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. Never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. If damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. If the plug will not

t the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualied

electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three

Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

Tools marked with “Grounding Re-1.

quired” have a three wire cord and

three prong grounding plug. The

plug must be connected to a properly

grounded outlet. If the tool should

electrically malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity

away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is2.

connected through the green wire in-

side the cord to the grounding system

in the tool. The green wire in the cord

must be the only wire connected to

the tool’s grounding system and must

never be attached to an electrically

“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an3.

appropriate outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all

codes and ordinances. The plug and

outlet should look like those in the

preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong

Plug and Outlet.)

Double Insulated Tools: Tools

with Two Prong Plugs

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do1.

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satises OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong

Plug.)

Double insulated tools may be used2.

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration. (See

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Extension Cords

Grounded1. tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three

wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet2.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the3.

wire, the greater the capacity of the

cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord

can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one exten-4.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord5.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord6.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-7.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from8.

FUNCTIONS

The Inverter converts power from

a DC power source into AC power. The

resulting charge can then be used to

power AC devices, such as power tools

or appliances, up to a maximum of 5,000

Watts. Up to four devices can be powered

at once, provided the sum of the devices’

maximum wattage remains below 5,000

Watts.

INSTALLATION

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION

section at the beginning of this

manual including all text under

subheadings therein before set

up or use of this product.

CAUTION! This Inverter must only be

connected to batteries with a output

voltage of 12 volts DC. Lower volt-

age will not operate the Inverter prop-

erly, and more voltage could damage

the Inverter or the device being pow-

ered. Do not use this Inverter with

positive ground electrical systems.

The Inverter is congured to have a

number of shut-down points, for the

safety of the operator, the unit, and the

devices being used with it.

If the DC rating input voltage from•

the battery drops to 10.6V, the

alarm on the Inverter will sound.

Should the input voltage drop to

10V the Inverter will shut down

automatically. Recharge the bat-

tery soon.

If the DC rating input voltage•

from the battery exceeds 15V the

Inverter will shut down automati-

cally.

When the output load power rises•

higher than the rating power of the

Inverter; the unit will shut down

automatically.

The Inverter will automatically•

shut down when its internal tem-

perature reaches 149° F.

use a bank of batteries as explained

below.

Battery Bank assembly instructions:6.

Read the following safety rulesa.

before assembling the battery

bank:

Connect batteries in parallel•

(negative terminals together to

one cable; positive terminals

together to the other cable) as

shown in Battery Bank Example

illustration ONLY.

Do not connect 12V batteries•

in series (from negative of one

battery to the positive of the

next). This connection can result

in voltage high enough to cause

ELECTROCUTION.

Wear splash-resistant ANSI-•

approved safety goggles and

electrically insulated gloves

while assembling battery bank.

Only connect similar batteries•

together in a battery bank. Do

not connect old and new batteries

together, wet and gel cells together,

or batteries of different capacities

together.

Connect all batteries in the battery•

bank together using #00 AWG or

thicker cables. Since amp draw on

this low-voltage circuit will be very

high, thinner cables would present

a re hazard.

Locate battery bank in a clean, well-•

ventilated area, away from ignition

sources and ammable materials.

Batteries release explosive hydro-

gen gas while charging.

Charge, store, and maintain batter-•

ies according to supplier’s instruc-

tions.
