INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for power inverter Model 51860T.
Before using the inverter, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the inverter, battery pack, and product using the battery pack.
CAUTION—To reduce risk of injury, use only Toro 60V lithium-ion battery packs with the power inverter. Other brands and types of battery packs may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
WARNING—Do not connect the inverter to a wall outlet or any AC distribution wiring, this can cause can cause a fire or electric shock.
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 2 conditions: (1) These devices may not cause harmful interference; and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

I. Training

Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area. Do not allow children to operate the machine. Allow only people who are responsible, trained, familiar with the instructions, and physically capable to operate the machine.
Do not allow children to use or play with the battery pack or battery inverter; local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

II. Preparation

Use the inverter only with specifically designated battery packs. Using other types of battery packs may create a risk of injury and/or fire.
Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or battery inverter. It may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
If the inverter is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer to replace it.

III. Operation

Charge the battery pack with only the battery charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for 1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area only. Do not operate the inverter if it is wet or near flammable materials.
Do not ground the neutral of the inverter.
Do not perform maintenance or service appliances that are connected to the inverter. Disconnect any appliances from the inverter when they are done charging.
Follow all operation instructions and do not use the battery pack or inverter outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack or inverter and increase the risk of fire.

Troubleshooting

Perform only the steps described in these instructions. All further inspection, maintenance, and repair work must be performed by an authorized service center or a similarly qualified specialist if you cannot solve the problem yourself.

Problem	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
The inverter does not charge, shuts down, or the LED indicator light is red.	The installed battery pack is out of charge. The battery charger is over or under the appropriate temperature range (red flashing LED in intervals of 4). Input voltage is over or under acceptable levels. The inverter or battery short circuited (red flashing LED in intervals of 4).	Replace with a charged battery pack or charge the battery pack. Unplug the battery from the inverter and move them to a place where it is dry and the temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F). Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug the unit while it is cooling. The battery or inverter may be damaged; contact an authorized service dealer. Remove the battery and restart the inverter after 5 minutes.
The battery pack loses charge quickly.	The battery pack is over or under the appropriate temperature range.	Move the battery pack to a place where it is dry and the temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F).
The tool does not run or does not run continuously.	There is moisture on the leads of the battery pack. The battery is not fully installed into the tool.	Allow the battery pack to dry or wipe it dry. Remove and then replace the battery into the tool making sure that it is fully installed and latched.
Some AC appliances do not 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 appliance carefully to accurately determine the tool’s input wattage.
There is a buzzing sound in some plugged-in audio systems.	The power supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the inverter.	Use a higher quality sound system that incorporates a higher quality power amplified supply.
There is a interference in the signal of some plugged-in television devices.	The TV signal is too weak. The inverter is being used to power other high-power appliances. The antenna/signal cable is damaged or inadequate. The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals; the shielding may be damaged.	Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables, and the TV power cord to minimize interference or move to an area with greater signal reception. Do not operate high-power appliances or tools when you are watching TV. Ensure that the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used. Contact an authorized service dealer.
