Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the inverter and connected equipment:

• Do not open the inverter casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the inverter to prevent overheating.
• Connect the inverter only to a 12V DC power source.
• Avoid connecting loads that exceed the inverter's rated wattage (1750W continuous).
• Keep the inverter away from water, moisture, and flammable materials.
• Always disconnect the inverter from the battery before performing any maintenance or wiring.
• Use appropriate gauge wiring for DC connections to prevent voltage drop and overheating.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your inverter.

1. Location Considerations:

• Install the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
• Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clear space around the inverter for proper airflow, especially around the cooling fans.
• Mount the inverter securely on a flat, non-flammable surface.

2. DC Input Wiring:

Connect the inverter directly to a 12V DC battery bank. Use heavy-gauge cables to minimize voltage drop, especially for longer runs.

1. Ensure the inverter's power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the inverter to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the inverter to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
4. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
5. It is recommended to install an appropriate DC fuse or circuit breaker (not included) as close to the battery as possible on the positive cable.

3. Grounding:

Proper grounding is essential for safety. Connect the inverter's chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground point, such as the vehicle chassis or a dedicated ground rod.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your Go Power GP-1750HD inverter:

1. Verify Connections: Double-check all DC input and grounding connections are secure.
2. Power On: Flip the inverter's power switch to the ON position. The digital display should illuminate, showing the battery voltage.
3. Connect Appliances: Plug your 120V AC appliances into the inverter's AC outlets. Ensure the total wattage of all connected appliances does not exceed 1750 Watts.
4. Monitor Display: The digital display can cycle between showing input DC voltage and output AC wattage. Use the 'DISPLAY SELECT' button to switch between readings.
5. Power Off: When finished, first disconnect all AC appliances, then flip the inverter's power switch to the OFF position.

Load Considerations (Modified Sine Wave):

This is a modified sine wave inverter. While suitable for most standard appliances, some sensitive electronics or inductive loads (e.g., motors, refrigerators, certain medical equipment) may not operate optimally or could be damaged. For such applications, a pure sine wave inverter is recommended.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your inverter.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry cloth. Ensure cooling vents are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Connection Checks: Regularly inspect all DC input and grounding connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
• Battery Maintenance: Ensure your 12V battery bank is properly maintained and charged according to the battery manufacturer's recommendations. A healthy battery is essential for inverter performance.
• Ventilation: Confirm that the inverter's location remains well-ventilated and unobstructed.
