Make sure you install the proper sized cables from battery to inverter. Or you will get a large voltage drop.
Also make sure you fuse the pos line with an anl fuse or breaker of at least 175 amps.
It doesn't say if the neutral and ground are bonded.
Do a continuity test. With unit off put probe in ground slot and other in wide neutral slot.
If the unit is bonded then I would lift the ground off the extension coed you make.This power inverter is designed for use with negative
ground electrical system. Don’t use with positive ground
electrical systems (the majority of modern automobiles,
RVs, trucks, and boats are negative ground).
Will do! Thanks for the input!!!!!
