OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE
INVERTER
Before starting the inverter,
review Safety section.
Location Selection – Before starting the inverter, avoid
exhaust and location hazards by verifying:
• You have selected a location to operate the inverter
that is outdoors and well ventilated.
• You have selected a location with a level and solid
surface on which to place the inverter.
• You have selected a location that is at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) away from any building, other equipment or
combustible material.
• If the inverter is located close to a building, make
sure it is not located near any windows, doors
and/or vents.
!
WARNING
Always operate the inverter on a level
surface. Placing the inverter on non-
level surfaces can cause the inverter
to tip over, causing fuel and oil to spill.
Spilled fuel can ignite if it comes in
contact with an ignition source such as
a very hot surface.
NOTICE
Only operate the inverter on a solid, level surface.
Operating the inverter on a surface with loose
material such as sand or grass clippings can cause
debris to be ingested by the inverter that could:
• Block cooling vents
• Block air intake system
Weather – Never operate your inverter outdoors during
rain, snow or any combination of weather conditions
that could lead to moisture collecting on, in or around
the inverter.
Dry Surface – Always operate the inverter on a dry
surface free of any moisture.
No Connected Loads – Make sure the inverter
has no connected loads before starting it. To ensure
there are no connected loads, unplug any electrical
extension cords that are plugged into the control panel
receptacles.
NOTICE
Starting the inverter with loads already applied to
it could result in damage to any appliance being
powered off the inverter during the brief start-up
period.
Grounding the Inverter – Consult with your local
municipalities for your grounding codes.
