** OFF means the inverter system cannot be reset until a device is within the specification range of operation. If the device is greater than specified, the inverter
will shut OFF. The operating voltage is between 11.5v and 15v. If the vehicle is not idling, the battery voltage will drop which will cause the inverter to shut down
when below 11.5v. When the vehicle is in the (P) Park position, it will work at 400W. If the vehicle is in any other shif ter position, it will turn off.
Do not use the outlet located in the truck
box with accessories that exceed 120 volt.
Do not use double adapters or more than
one electrical accessory. When the dual
wall bed liner is installed (if so equipped),
the power outlet is still accessible through
the access door in the bed liner.
CAUTION
• Operation of the 120 volt system with
the ignition in the ON position and
the engine not running (idle) will
drain the battery charge. This could
lead to a dead battery or no start
condition.
• The outlet and plug may be hot dur-
ing or immediately af ter use. •
Use power outlets with the engine
running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
• Do not use double adaptors or more
than one electrical accessory.
• Avoid using power outlets when the
air conditioner, headlights or rear
window defroster is on.
• Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned OFF.
• Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug
may overheat or the internal tem-
perature fuse may open. •
When not in use, be sure to close the
cap. Do not allow water or any other
liquid to contact the outlet.
