Caution: This inverter must only be con-
nected to batteries with a nominal
output voltage of 12 volts. Lower
voltage will not operate the inverter
properly, and more voltage could
damage the inverter or the device
being powered. If more than one 12
volt battery is to be used, the batter-
ies must be connected in a parallel
circuit; batteries connected in a series
circuit will produce too much voltage.
Place the Power Inverter on a at sur-1.

tilation and is not in direct sunlight.
Locate the Inverter close enough to
the vehicle battery so that the Cables
can easily reach between the Inverter
