CONNECTING EQUIPMENT REQUIRING LESS THAN 150 WATTS

Follow these steps if the equipment to be used requires less than 150
watts.

1.  Plug the power inverter into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

2.  Plug the equipment to be used into the AC socket on the power
    inverter.

CAUTIONS:  The power inverter plug might get hot while it is plugged into a
           cigarette-lighter socket.  Use a cloth or a glove to unplug it
           from the socket, and let it cool completely before you store it.

           The cigarette-lighter receptacle must be rated for at least 25
           amps in order to continuously power a 220-watt load.

NOTE:  Unplug the power inverter from your cigarette-lighter socket when
       you are not using it. 

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT REQUIRING MORE THAN 150 WATTS

If the equipment to be used requires greater than 150 watts or if the
cigarette-lighter receptacle is not rated for at least 25 amps, the power
inverter must be connected directly to the vehicle battery.

CAUTION:  This connection should be made by a qualified vehicle mechanic or
          electrical system installation technician.

Notice to the installation Technician:

Make sure the power inverter's red positive (+) wire connects directly to 
a positive source of at least 25 amps and its black negative (-) wire to 
the vehicle's chassis.
