MAXX SST™ inverters are ideal for powering:• TV/VCR combinations• Refrigerator/freezers• Lights• Radio receivers/transceivers• Heavy duty power tools & chargers• Stereo systems• Small microwave ovens• Household appliances• Computers and peripheral equipment• Dry and/or wet-and-dry vacuums• Sump pumps, motors and other electric-powered equipmentMAXX SST™ uses a 12VDC power source like those found in motor vehicles, orit can be operated using multiple battery configurations with commercial batterychargers or solar battery chargers. For most heavy-duty applications, a multiplebattery configuration and the use of deep-cycle batteries is required.When using multiple batteries, inverters can be operated from one of the vehi-cle 12 volt batteries, so there’s always one battery with adequate charge tostart an engine.MAXX SST™ includes a high-surge capability. This is required to start heavyloads, such as motors and other inductive devices.1.3 APPLIANCE CAUTIONSNEVER plug small appliances into the inverter outlets to directly recharge nick-el-cadmium batteries. Always use the charger provided with that appliance.NEVER plug in battery chargers for cordless power tools, if the charger carries awarning that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.Some fluorescent lamps may not operate properly with this type of inverter. If thebulb appears to be too bright, or fails to light, do not use the lamp with this inverter.Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly increase in speed (RPM) whenpowered by the inverter. This is not harmful to the fan or to the inverter.Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged ifplugged into the inverters.DO NOT use inverters with the following two types of equipment.1. Small, battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, cordless razors andtooth brushes that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle torecharge.2. Certain battery chargers for battery packs that are used in some cordlesshand-tools. Chargers for these tools have a warning label stating thatdangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.The majority of portable appliances do not have this problem. Most portableappliances use separate transformers or chargers that plug into AC receptaclesto supply a low DC or AC voltage output to the appliance. If the appliance labelstates that the charger or adapter produces a low DC or AC voltage output(30 volts or less), there should be no problem powering that charger or adapter.6
