4. Make sure the Power Switch located on the front panel of the inverter is in
the Off position.
5. Locate the ground lug terminal on the inverter. Connect an insulated 10
gauge copper wire to the terminal. The other end of the ground wire is
connected to a "proper" grounding point. Use the shortest practical length
of wire. Connect this wire to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding
system in your boat. In a city, the ground wire can connect to a metal cold
water pipe that goes underground. In remote locations, the ground wire
can be connected to an "earth ground". This can be an attachment to a foot
long copper clad metal rod driven into the ground. In the unlikely event of
a short circuit, operating the inverter without proper grounding can result in
electrical shock. Do not directly connect this ground wire to the Negative
(black) DC Terminal of the inverter. As an alternative grounding connection,
use the Negative (black) terminal of the battery.
NOTE: Crimp-on ring terminals are required on all cable ends. The cable
ends need to be stripped of insulation for 1/2 inch before crimping on ring
terminals. Select a crimp terminal size to fit the gauge cable and inverter
and battery terminal connectors. After crimping make sure that the cable
connectors are secure on the cables so there are no loose connections.
6. Remove the terminal covers from the inverter. Slide the cable through the
correct terminal cover.
7. Connect the Negative (black) cable end to the inverter terminal and battery
Negative Terminal. Make sure you have good, secure connections.
8. Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable end
and the inverter's positive terminal may cause a spark. This is a normal and
is a result of capacitors in the inverter starting to charge. Because of the
possibility of sparking, it is extremely important that both the inverter and
the battery bank be positioned away from any source of flammable fumes
or gases. Failure to heed this warning can result in fire or explosion. Do not
