“Freedom Jazz Inverter” - Provides 120 volt AC current from 12 volt DC current wherever it is needed. Portable power

and easy to install advanced series power. Capacities range from 50 to 2,500 watts to power almost any appliance.

High efficiency, compact design, High/Low voltage protection circuitry protects the inverter whenever input voltage

exceeds 15 volts DC or less than 10.5 volts DC. Thermal Cutoff automatically shuts inverter down if internal temperature

exceeds standard design parameters for safe operation

When sizing your inverter, simply calculate the highest total wattage needed at any one time and choose the closest

inverter with a higher output. For practical application, most people operate only one or two major appliances at a time. Start

up watts should be considered where appropriate.

Preparing for Emergencies

There are many items you should have in your automobile and

things you should do to be prepared for an emergency.

• Even if you are at home when a disaster strikes, and your home

is well stocked, you may still need the supplies in your car. Your

house may not be safe to enter, or may catch fire after a natural

disaster such as an earthquake.

• Your car will be one of the most important resources after a

disaster strikes. Keep it mechanically sound and pay close at-

tention to the exhaust system. A leaking exhaust system could

kill.

• Always make sure you keep your gas tank full. Fill it when it is

half empty. You will thank yourself the first time you are stuck

in a traffic jam during bad weather.

• Think of your car’s trunk as an extra large supply cabinet. Keep

your supplies in the trunk along with other important items such

as tools, jumper cables and a spare tire.

• Keep the car mechanically sound and ready to use.

• Keep supplies in the car for use in an emergency.

• Replace your battery every five years. In an emergency, your car

battery needs to run the radio and heater for extended periods.

Have a mechanic check the following items on your vehicle

to keep it ready for an emergency: battery, antifreeze, wipers and

windshield washer fluid, ignition system, thermostat, lights and

flashing hazard, exhaust system, heater, brakes, defroster, tire

pressures and treads

To prevent car batteries from becoming a problem, perform

regular routine maintenance on the battery. Maintaining the cor-

rect electrolyte levels, tightening loose hold-down clamps and ter-

minals are maintenance batteries require. Additionally, removing

corrosion and checking the alternator belt tension are also preven-

tative maintenance steps required for a battery.

The frequency you perform these steps depends on your cli-

mate and battery type, but you should perform at least once before

cold weather starts and once a month during hot weather.

If the electrolyte levels are low in non-sealed batteries, add

distilled water to the level indicated by the battery manufacturer

or to 1/8” below the bottom of the filler tube. Try not to overfill,

especially in hot climates.
