TO GROUND THE CONVERTER
1.
Turn off and disconnect the converter.
2.
Locate the chassis ground screw on the
back of the converter.
3.
Remove the outer hex nut and loosen
the second hex nut.
4.
Attach the grounding wire’s ring con-
nector to the ground terminal of the
converter.
5.
Tighten the hex nut securely. Then,
replace the other hex nut and tighten it
securely.
6.
Attach the other end of the wire to a
properly grounded location:
Vehicle: Connect to the chassis, unpainted
frame part, or engine block of the vehicle.
Fixed location: Connect to a ground rod
or other appropriately rated ground.
CONNECTING CONVERTER
CABLES TO THE CONVERTER
(See Fig. 3):
1.
Locate the Positive and Negative termi-
nals on the left side of the converter.
2.
From the POSITIVE (RED) and the NEG-
ATIVE (BLACK) terminals, remove the
hex nut, split lock and flat washer.
3.
Place the POSITIVE (RED) ring connec-
tor onto the POSITIVE (RED) converter
terminal. Place the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
ring connector onto the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) converter terminal.
4.
Place a flat washer and split lock on top
of each ring connector. Put a hex nut
over these and tighten.

CONNECTING THE CONVERTER
CABLE TO A 12V BATTERY
OR 12V POWER SOURCE:
1.
Keep hands, hair, clothing and jewelry
clear of battery terminals.
2.
Wear eye protection and protective
clothing.
3.
For a negative-grounded vehicle (do
not use with positive ground electrical
systems), connect the POSITIVE (RED)
ring terminal from the converter to the
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) ring terminal to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the terminal
to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-
metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or
engine block.
4.
To disconnect the converter, remove
first the negative terminal and then the
positive terminal.
IMPORTANT: Failure to make the correct
connections will result in blown fuses and
permanent damage to the converter.
10. BATTERY BANK INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY BANK ASSEMBLY
READ THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE BATTERY
BANK.
• Connect batteries ONLY in parallel
(negative terminals together to one
cable; positive terminals together to
the other cable), as shown in the Bat-
tery Bank Example.
• Do not connect 12V batteries in a series
with the negative of one battery con-
nected to the positive of the next.
CONNECTING INCORRECTLY MAY
RESULT IN VOLTAGE HIGH ENOUGH TO
CAUSE ELECTROCUTION.
• While assembling the battery bank,
wear splash-resistant ANSI-approved
safety goggles and electrically insu-
lated gloves.
