WARNING
You may observe a spark when making
the connection because current can flow to charge
the capacitors in the inverter.
Do not make this
connection in the presence of flammable fumes.
Explosion or fire may result. Thoroughly ventilate
the battery compartment before making this
connection.

Connect cable to the power source:
a.
Connect the cable from the
Negative (Black)
Terminal
of inverter to the
Negative Terminal
of the power source. Make a secure connection.
b.
Connect the cable from the
Positive (Red) Terminal
of the inverter to the
Positive Terminal
of the power
source (the battery’s main fuse or the battery
selector switch, if you are using one). Make a
secure connection.
You might observe a spark when you make this connection
since current can flow to charge capacitors in the inverter.
All power connections to your Cobra inverter must
be
Positive to Positive
and
Negative to Negative
.
CAUTION
Do not connect the inverter and another
AC source (such as a generator or utility power)
to the AC wiring at the same time. The inverter
will be damaged if its output is connected to
AC voltage from another source. Damage can
even occur if the inverter is switched
off
.
CAUTION
Do not connect the inverter to an AC
branch circuit that has high-power consumption loads.
It will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners,
stoves, and other electrical appliances that consume
more than 400 watts.
CAUTION
Loose connectors result in excessive
voltage drop and may cause over heated wires
and melted insulation.
CAUTION
Reverse polarity connections (positive
to negative) will blow external fuse in the inverter
and may permanently damage the unit. Such
damage is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION
Remove any jewelry (watch, ring, etc.).
Be careful not to short circuit the battery with
any metallic object (wrench, etc.).
WARNING
115 volt AC power is potentially lethal.
Do not work on AC wiring when it is connected to
the inverter (even if it is switched off) unless the
DC power source is physically disconnected from
the inverter. Also, do not work on AC wiring if it is
connected to another AC power source such as
a generator or the utility line.
WARNING
