Solar PANEL INSTALLATION
A. Installation with a Single Solar Panel
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the Solar Power System, mark the positive (+) battery terminal with red tape.
- Place 1 Solar Panel onto 1 of the 4-wheeled hand-trucks.
- Locate the NEGATIVE (-) and the POSITIVE (+) cable connectors on the back of the Solar Panel.
- Locate the 2 Solar Panel connectors that have a Solar Panel connector on one side and an open wire on the other. There are 2 of these in the FATMax.
- Connect the MALE open wire Solar Panel connector to the NEGATIVE (-) cable on the Solar Panel. This connection is the NEGATIVE (-).
- Connect the FEMALE open wire Solar Panel connector to the POSITIVE (+) cable on the Solar Panel. This connection is the POSITIVE (+).
- Connect the NEGATIVE (-) open wire Solar Panel connector to the SunSaver Solar NEGATIVE (-) post using a screwdriver.
- Connect the POSITIVE (+) open wire Solar Panel connector to the SunSaver Solar POSITIVE (+) post using a screwdriver.
- Locate the YELLOW electrical wire in the FATMax. Strip the wire on both ends as needed. After removing the YELLOW sheath from the internal wires there are 3 wires. The WHITE wire is the POSITIVE (+). The BLACK wire is the NEGATIVE (-). The GROUND wire (surrounded by paper) should be folded out of the way. Use needle-nose pliers to loop the ends of the YELLOW electrical cable.
- Connect the NEGATIVE (-) BLACK electrical wire to the SunSaver BATTERY post using a screwdriver.
- Connect the POSITIVE (+) WHITE electrical wire to the SunSaver BATTERY post using a screwdriver.
- Locate 1 pair of LOOP END BATTERY CABLES. RED is POSTIVE. BLACK is NEGATIVE (-).
- Using a pair of needle nose pliers, loop the free end of the YELLOW electrical wire around 1 side of the connected BATTERY CABLES.
1. The WHITE POSITIVE (+) wire should be looped around the RED POSITIVE (+) BATTERY CABLE.
2. The BLACK NEGATIVE (-) wire should be looped around the BLACK NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE. - Use electrical tape to wrap the POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) connections separately.
- Use electrical tape to wrap both POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) connections together.
- Place the free end of the connected BATTERY CABLES onto the battery.
1. The BLACK BATTERY CABLE is placed on the NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY POST.
2. The POSITIVE (+) BATTERY CABLE is place on the POSITIVE (+) BATTERY POST.
3. This connects the SunSaver to the BATTERY. - Locate the DC to AC inverter and the 1 PAIRED LOOP END BATTERY CABLES.
1. Place the NEGATIVE (-) inverter cable on the NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY POST.
2. Place the POSITIVE (+) inverter cable on the POSTIVE (+) BATTERY POST.
3. Place the NEGATIVE (-) loop end on the NEGATIVE (-) INVERTER POST.
4. Place the POSITIVE (+) loop end on the POSITIVE (+) INVERTER POST. - The Solar Panel Power System is now ready to turn on.
- Flip the power switch on the DC to AC inverter to on
B. Installation with Dual Solar Panels
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the Solar Power System, mark the positive (+) battery terminal with red tape.
- Place 1 Solar Panel onto each of the 4-wheeled hand-trucks and place them side-by-side.
- Locate the NEGATIVE (-) and the POSITIVE (+) cable connections on the back of each Solar Panel.
- Connect the POSITIVE (+) Solar Panel connector of the LEFT Solar Panel to the NEGATIVE (-)Solar Panel Connector of the RIGHT Solar Panel. This will bridge both Solar Panels.
- Locate the 2 Solar Panel connectors that have a Solar Panel connector on one side and an open wire on the other. There are 2 of these in the FATMax.
- Connect the MALE open wire Solar Panel connector to the NEGATIVE (-) cable on the Solar Panel. This connection is the NEGATIVE (-).
- Connect the FEMALE open wire Solar Panel connector to the POSITIVE (+) cable on the Solar Panel. This connection is the POSITIVE (+). (See illustrations above)
- Connect the NEGATIVE (-) open wire Solar Panel connector to the SunSaver Solar NEGATIVE (-) post using a screwdriver.
- Connect the POSITIVE (+) open wire Solar Panel connector to the SunSaver Solar POSITIVE (+) post using a screwdriver. (See illustrations above)
- Locate the YELLOW electrical wire in the FATMax. Strip the wire on both ends as needed. After removing the YELLOW sheath from the internal wires there are 3 wires. The WHITE wire is the POSITIVE (+). The BLACK wire is the NEGATIVE (-). The GROUND wire (surrounded by paper) should be folded out of the way. Use needle-nose pliers to loop the ends of the YELLOW electrical cable.
- Connect the NEGATIVE (-) BLACK electrical wire to the SunSaver BATTERY post using a screwdriver.
- Connect the POSITIVE (+) WHITE electrical wire to the SunSaver BATTERY post using a screwdriver.
- Locate 1 pair of LOOP END BATTERY CABLES. RED is POSTIVE. BLACK is NEGATIVE (-).
- Using a pair of needle nose pliers, loop the free end of the YELLOW electrical wire around 1 side of the connected BATTERY CABLES.
1. The WHITE POSITIVE (+) wire should be looped around the RED POSITIVE (+) BATTERY CABLE.
2. The BLACK NEGATIVE (-) wire should be looped around the BLACK NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE. - Use electrical tape to wrap the POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) connections separately.
- Use electrical tape to wrap both POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) connections together.
- Place the free end of the connected BATTERY CABLES onto the battery.
The BLACK BATTERY CABLE is placed on the NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY POST.
The POSITIVE (+) BATTERY CABLE is place on the POSITIVE (+) BATTERY POST.
This connects the SunSaver to the BATTERY. - Locate the DC to AC inverter and the 1 PAIRED LOOP END BATTERY CABLES.
1. Place the NEGATIVE (-) inverter cable on the NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY POST.
2. Place the POSITIVE (+) inverter cable on the POSTIVE (+) BATTERY POST.
3. Place the NEGATIVE (-) loop end on the NEGATIVE (-) INVERTER POST.
4. Place the POSITIVE (+) loop end on the POSITIVE (+) INVERTER POST. - The Solar Panel Power System is now ready to turn on.
- Flip the power switch on the DC to AC inverter to on.
