2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
2.1
Restrictions on Use: This converter
may not be used with life support
devices or systems. Failure of this con-
verter can reasonably be expected to
cause failure of that life support device
or system, or to affect the safety or
effectiveness of that device or system.
2.2
Wear complete eye protection and
protective clothing when working
near lead-acid batteries. Always
have someone nearby for help.
2.3
Remove all personal metal items from
your body, such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A lead-acid
battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring to
metal, causing a severe burn.
2.4
Never smoke or allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of the battery or
engine.
3. CONVERTER LOCATION
3.1
Never place unit directly above bat-
tery; gases from battery will corrode
and damage the converter.
3.2
Never allow battery acid to drip on unit
when reading gravity or filling battery.
3.3
Do not operate converter in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way.

Thermal Protection
When the thermal resistor exceeds 80° C
(176° F), the converter shuts down until it
cools off, and then automatically restarts.
Surge Protection
When the power input from the vehicle’s
battery exceeds 16 volts, the converter
shuts down. Once the voltage drops
down to less than 14 volts, it automati-
cally restarts.
Low-Battery Protection
When the power input from the vehi-
cle’s battery drops to below 10.5 volts,
the alarm will sound, the red LED will
light, and the converter will shut down.
