SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This
manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for converter
model 260-9521. This manual will
show you how to use your converter
safely and effectively. Please read,
understand and follow these instruc-
tions and precautions carefully.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
1.2
People with pacemakers should con-
sult their physician before using the
converter. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker
may cause pacemaker interference
or pacemaker failure.
1.3
IMPORTANT: Do not use in a marine
application.
1.4
Keep out of reach of children.
1.5
Do not expose converter to rain or
snow.
1.6
Use of an attachment not rec-
ommended or sold by the unit
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
1.7
Do not disassemble the unit; take it to
a qualified serviceman when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
1.8
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug
unit from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
1.9
For the most effective use, place the
power converter on a flat surface.
1.10
Keep the converter well ventilated,
in order to properly disperse heat
generated while it is use. Make sure
there are several inches of clearance
around the top and sides and do not
block the slots of the converter.
1.11
Do not place the converter in areas
such as battery compartments or
engine compartments, where fumes
or gases may accumulate.
1.12
DO NOT operate the converter if you,
the converter, the device being oper-
ated or any other surfaces that may
come into contact with any power
source are wet. Water and many other
liquids can conduct electricity, which
may lead to serious injury or death.
1.13
Do not place the converter on or
near heating vents, radiators or other
sources of heat or flammable materials.
1.14
Do not place the converter in direct
sunlight. The ideal air temperature for
operation is between 50° and 80°F.
1.15
Only connect the power converter to
a 12V battery or power supply. Do not
attempt to connect the converter to
any other power source, including an
AC power source. Connecting to a 6V
or 16V battery will cause damage to
the converter.
1.16
Do not use with positive ground elec-
trical systems.
1.17
Make sure the AC plug is tight.
1.18
Do not modify the AC receptacle in
any way.
1.19
Do not try extending or otherwise
changing the 12V power cord sup-
plied with your converter. Make sure
the cord connections are tight.
1.20
Incorrect operation of your converter
may result in damage and personal
injury.
The converter output is 120V AC and
can shock or electrocute the same as
any ordinary household AC wall outlet.
1.21
Do not use the converter with a prod-
uct that draws a higher wattage than
the converter can provide, as this
may cause damage to the converter
and product.
1.22
This device does not include an in-
ternal Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). For GFCI protection, use a
GFCI outlet.
