[. . . ] · Check frequently to ensure that the input and output connections are secure. Loose connections may damage the inverter, the power source, or may generate excessive heat. 7. OPERATION Important Information on Battery Chargers Using your inverter to recharge units designed to charge such portable equipment as power tools, flashlights, video cameras and laptop computers may cause damage to the inverter or the charging unit. Check with the appliance manufacturer for compatibility with sine wave inverters if you're unsure. Although we advise against it, if you attempt to recharge a charging unit, monitor the temperature of the charging unit for approximately 10 minutes. If the charging unit becomes unusually warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately. The PP750AC is equipped with three 35 amp spade type fuses. With reasonable care, it should not be necessary to replace the fuse(s) in your inverter. Thermal Cut Off: Automatic shut down when the internal circuit temperature exceeds standard design parameters for safe operation. 12 13 PP750 Manual 3/6/02 2:25 PM Page 17 ADDITIONAL FEATURES 2. Low Battery Voltage Alarm/Shutdown Protection a) When the input voltage from the 12 volt power source drops below 10. 5 volts, an audible tone will be heard. b) The inverter will automatically shut down when the input voltage drops below 9. 5 volts. This protects the battery from completely draining. In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (O) position until the source of the related problem has been identified and resolved. Wall Mounting: Whistler inverters have provisions for wall mounting; two slotted holes in the handle area and a notched area at the power cord end allow for easy wall mounting of the unit. Your Whistler GO AC inverter will work best when placed on a reasonably flat surface. The floor or seat of your car or truck both are good locations. When driving with the inverter in operation, make certain that neither the inverter nor the power cords will impede safe operation of your vehicle. Keep the unit and all cords clear of the steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and gear shift. · CARE AND MAINTENANCE To maintain your inverter in proper working condition, note the following important safety precautions: · MOISTURE. Do not operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact with any power sources are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity which may lead to serious injury or death. For peak efficiency, the ambient air temperature should be between 50° and 80° F.
