Caution:
Do not use a fuse with a
different rating. Doing so can damage your
inverter.
Troubleshooting
If an appliance doesn’t power up, or the
power indicator doesn’t light, there are several
possible causes:
• Defective device plugged into the
inverter.
Try another device to see if the first one is
defective.
• Vehicle battery voltage is lower than 10V.
Run the vehicle’s engine to recharge the
battery.
•
Temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C).
Unplug the appliance and wait until the
inverter cools. See
“Heat Dispersion.”
Your
device’s power requirement might also
exceed the inverter’s rating.
•
Continuous power load exceeds 150
watts.
Disconnect the device. Use only devices
with a continuous power load of 150 watts
or less.
•
Blown fuse.

“Replacing the Fuse.”
