• This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS

The power source must able to supply the necessary current to operate the load. The

GreenWorks 29652, 29662, 2907002 model battery pack is the only DC source, cannot connect

to other DC source.

WARNING:

Keep ventilation when using batteries.

Cannot mount the power inverter on other position, can just install on the GreenWorks battery pack.

CONNECTION TO LOAD

The inverter is equipped with North America AC power receptacle. Plug the cord from the

equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle. The green LED indicator lights to indicate

that the inverter is functioning. Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment

does not exceed inverter’s output rating.

The inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic

equipment in the manner described above.

Do not connect the power inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring.

Do not connect the power inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is

connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on at surface, such as the ground, car

oor, or other solid surface. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following

criteria:

DRY- Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the power inverter.

COOL – Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is

generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, if at all

possible.

SAFE – Do not use the inverter near ammable materials or in any locations that may

accumulate ammable fumes of gases.

PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER

Your inverter monitors the following potentially hazardous conditions:

OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION – If the temperature inside the inverter is too high, the

unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting

after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.

LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION - This condition is not harmful to the inverter but

could damage the power source. The inverter automatically shuts down when input voltage drops

to 29.5 volts. When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted.

OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down when the input

voltage exceeds 43 volts DC.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION – The inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous

draw exceeds rated watts.

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION – The inverter will shut down. Remove the short circuit and

restart the inverter after 5 minutes.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

HOW YOUR INVERTER WORKS

The inverter converts low voltage DC (Direct Current) from a Greenworks 40V lithium battery to

standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) household power.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The inverter converts power in two stages.

• The rst stage is a DC to DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter

input to high volts DC.

• The second stage is the actual inverter stage that converts the high voltage DC into AC.

The DC-to-DC converter stage uses modern high frequency power conversion techniques

that have replaced the bulky transformers found in less technologically-advanced models. The

inverter stage uses advanced power MOSFET transistors in a full bridge conguration.

THE OUTPUT WAVEFORM

The AC output waveform of the 9300000-series inverter is known as “modied sine wave”. It is

a waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of

waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in

electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. (See Figure 1).

The modied sine wave produced by the 9300000-series inverter has an RMS (root mean

square) voltage of 115 volts, which is the same as standard household power. Most AC

voltmeters (both digital and analog) are sensitive to the average value of the waveform rather

than the RMS value. They are calibrated for RMS voltage under the assumption that the

waveform measured will be a pure sine wave. These meters will not read the RMS voltage of a

modied sine wave correctly. They will read about 20 to 30 volts low when measuring the output

of the inverter. For accurate measurement of the output voltage of this unit, use a true RMS

reading voltmeter.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Some AC appliances

won’t start.

The power needed

to start some AC

appliances may be as

much as 2 to 8 times

its continuous wattage

requirements.

Read the information panel on each AC ap-

pliance carefully to accurately determine the

tool’s input wattage.

“BUZZING” sound in

audio systems.

The power supply in

the electronic device

does not adequately

lter the modied sine

wave produced by the

inverter.

Use a higher quality sound system that

incorporates a higher quality power amplied

supply.

Television interference.

The inverter is shielded

to minimize interfer-

ence with TV signals.

The problem may not

be with the inverter.

However, in some

instances, some inter-

ference may still be

visible, particularly with

weak TV signals.

Position the inverter as far as possible from

the television, the antenna and the antenna

cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.

Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the

antenna cables and the TV power cord to

minimize interference.

Make sure that the antenna feeding the

television provides an adequate (“snow free”)

signal and that high quality, shielded antenna

cable is used.

Do not operate high-power appliances or

tools when you are watching TV.
