• Inspect the inverter and cables before use. Do not use if damaged.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not abuse the leads. Never use leads for carrying, pulling or unplugging the device. Keep lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled leads increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to a
power source.
• Disconnect the power source before making any adjustments or performing maintenance on the
inverter. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the device accidentally.
• Maintain electrical devices. Check for defects of parts and any other condition that may affect the
device's operation. If damaged, have the device repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained electrical devices.
• Use the device and its accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
conditions and the task to be performed. Use of the device for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that devices used with the inverter
are ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or
less.
• Have your electrical devices serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the device is maintained.
Work area safety
• Do not operate electrical devices in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Electrical devices create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or objects that may be affected by heat.
The inverter becomes very hot after extended use.
• Ensure there is adequate access to the inverter to enable regular inspection for prevention of fire
and other hazards.
• Do not leave electrical equipment near flammable materials.
• Ensure adequate measures for fire prevention and protection are in place.
• Do not use the inverter in a damp environment, in locations with high humidity or where there
is a risk that the inverter could make contact with water. This may mean that this inverter is not
suitable for waterborne applications, especially in smaller vessels.
• Protect the inverter from weather. Where the inverter is not installed in a vehicle, use under
cover.
• Do not expose non-waterproof electrical devices to rain or wet conditions. Do not submerge non-
pressure-rated devices in water. Water entering an electrical device will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
• Devices such as inverters have a strong electromagnetic field which may interfere with the
operation of heart pacemakers. People with pacemakers or similar cardiac implants should
consult their physician before using an inverter.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an electrical device.
Do not use potentially dangerous electrical devices while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating potentially dangerous
devices may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment including eye protection where appropriate.
Protective equipment used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Installation and operational safety
• DO NOT install this inverter into a building's electrical system. It is not designed to be integrated
safely into such an electrical system and has not been tested or certified to meet building
electrical standards. Such installations may create a fire risk or electric shock hazard.
• DO NOT attempt to integrate the inverter in any pre-existing 230V distribution system in a
motorhome or caravan. Such work should be done by a qualified electrician.
• When connected to a 12V in-vehicle supply or similar, ensure the inverter does not make contact
with the vehicle chassis.
• Allow sufficient space around the inverter for cooling. Do not place on carpets or rugs. These may
block vents on the base of the inverter.
• Do not obstruct the vents or fans of the inverter.
• Only use in cool to moderate ambient temperatures. Do not use on top of or near a heat source.
• Always ensure selected mains devices are suitable for use with modified sine wave current.
Do not attempt to power devices that require pure sine wave current.
• Always ensure cables are suitable for the maximum input current rating of the inverter.
Inadequate cabling increases the risk of fire or explosion.
• Do not use with batteries or vehicles with other than 12V power.
• Ensure the neutral conductor of the AC device circuit is not connected to protective earth or to the
negative terminal of the source battery. This set-up may severely damage the device and the
inverter.
• Unless it is safe to do so DO NOT connect an inverter to anywhere but directly to the battery
as instructed in this manual. Connecting an inverter to an existing fused circuit of a vehicle's
electrical system can be dangerous and lead to substantial damage.
Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with
caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to use this appliance, do
not attempt to use it.

Intended Use
Converts 12V DC into 230V AC, to supply mains voltage devices from 12V vehicle batteries. Suitable
for use in transit or in stationary applications.
WARNING: This inverter is only suitable for 12V batteries and vehicle systems.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition
• If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this
product
Before Use
Important considerations
• Most 12V batteries including lead-acid, gel and AGM should not be discharged below 50% of
their capacity. Fully discharging these batteries may lead to permanent battery damage.
• Be aware that some devices can draw a considerable amount of power and drain a vehicle battery
in a short space of time. It may be necessary to run the motor of the vehicle to ensure that the
battery is not discharged to the point of being unable to start the motor.
• The inverter's case and AC mains socket earth connection are connected so that the mounting
screws and any unpainted area of the inverter body will make an earth connection if in contact
with a metal surface. This will mean that in the event of a fault, such metal surfaces may
become live.
