4.7 INVERTER FUSE REPLACEMENT
The following assumes that the main unit battery has a charge and that there is no output from the 110 VA C
receptacle. If you find that a fuse is blown (open) determine the cause of the short before restarting the power
inverter again. Fuse replacement in automobile: Most automobile 12 volt DC accessory outlet use fuses at 1
5
amps
or greater. The inverter can deliver 180 watts with a 20 Amp lighter socket fuse. The inverter must be removed
from the Main Unit to gain access to the fuse. The fuse, spade lug type 30 amperes) is located under the black
protective cap on the connector end of the inverter.
1.
Lift off the protective cap from the inverter and set
it
aside.
2. Press the release buttons that hold the inverter in place and slide the inverter out of the mounting.
3. Lift the end of the black protective fuse cover closest to the power pins and rotate upwards to expose top of fuse.
4. Grasp the fuse in the center and pull away from the inverter.
5.
Check the fuse visually or with a continuity checker.
6. If fuse is open (blown) replace with another with same type and rating.
7. Close fuse cover and slide inverter back into its mounting and place the on/off Switch in the On position.
8. If fuse is good the green LED will light.
9.
Check for proper operation by powering a 110 VAC appliance. If there is still a problem, call Vector Technical
Support toll-free (866) 584-5504.
NOTE:
If the Main Unit battery is discharged, the Inverter may also be quickly checked by connecting the Inverter
Power Cable to the inverter’s power pins and plugging the DC plug into a known to be operating 1 2 volt
DC accessory socket.
5.
COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR
This built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicles, trailer tires and recreational
inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle will clip on the end of the standard tire valve
connector located at the free end of the compressor hose. The compressor nozzles are stored inside the cable hatch.
The compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel between the jumper cable channels on the
rear of the unit. The compressor’s on/off switch is located on the side of the main unit near the AC recharge port.
The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the Power City internal battery
must be recharged. When the compressor is turned on, the gauge will light up.
5.1 COMPRESSOR USE
IMPORTANT:
Read Instructions Carefully To Avoid Possible Injury Or Property Damage.
The compressor may be used by removing the air hose from it’s storage channel and fitting an appropriate nozzle
to the air hose. An on/off switch located on the main unit controls the power to the compressor. Refer to Figures 2
and 3 for locations of compressor switch and nozzle storage hatch.
For nighttime use: Remove the lantern from the main unit and power it from the extension cord. This way you can
position the Lantern to see the pressure gauge and the item being inflated.
Refer to Section 6, below.
5.2
WARNINGS
The compressor is capable of inflating to 260 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. To avoid over-inflation,
carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can
cause serious injury. Always check pressure with the pressure gauge Never leave compressor unattended while in
use. Allow unit to cool after 10 minutes of continuous operation.
