To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, first run a
test. The inverter will automatically shut down in the event of an output overload
so there is no danger of damaging either the inverter or the equipment. When
the red LED indicator is lit, the inverter is signaling a fault.

Do not exceed the 700 watt maximum AC load or the inverter will shut down.
Most electrical tools, appliances, and audio/video equipment have labels that
list the unit's power requirements in watts. If the tool or device is rated in amps,
multiply the amps by 120 (120V AC) to determine the watts. For example, an
appliance rated at 0.5 amps will draw 60 watts.
Remember to consider the startup surge that motorized appliances will cause.
Do not exceed the 1400 watt momentary surge rating of this inverter. This can
cause immediate overload shut down and or blow a fuse.

1. Connect an insulated copper wire to the ground terminal. The other end
of the ground wire should be 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.
In the unlikely event of a short circuit, operating the inverter without proper
grounding can result in electric shock. Do not directly connect this ground
wire to the negative DC terminal
