Using the Battery Clip Wire Assembly
Warning!
Corrosive materials and energy
hazard.
To reduce the risk of irritation and burns, wear
protective eyewear and clothing when you work
with batteries.
Take special care to ensure that metal tools or
personal objects like rings or watches do not contact
the battery terminals.
Caution!
Risk of damage to the 500 Inverter.
Reversing the positive and negative battery cables
will damage the inverter and void your warranty.
When you connect the inverter to the battery,
double check the connections. The red wire must be
connected to the red (+) terminal on the inverter and
the positive (+) terminal on the battery. The black
wire must be connected to the black (–) terminal on
the inverter and the negative (–) terminal on the
battery.
Caution!
Fire hazard.
The wires in most 12 volt sockets or power outlets
are not large enough for loads greater than 150
watts: they will overheat and present a fire hazard.
For loads greater than 150 watts, connect the
inverter directly to the battery and use
appropriately sized wires like those in the battery
clip wire assembly provided with the inverter.
