Trouble/Indication

Possible Cause

Suggested Remedy

No AC output — yellow
LED lit

DC input is below 
10 volts

Recharge or replace the
battery.

No AC output — red LED
lit

Excessive appliance
load

Reset unit by turning OFF,
then back ON.

Inverter hot

Disconnect load from
inverter. Operate inverter
without load for a few
minutes. Reconnect load.

No AC output — green
LED not lit

Bad connection or
wiring

Tighten all DC connections.

Low battery alarm sounds

Low battery voltage

Recharge battery. Remove
load from inverter while
recharging battery.

Motorized power tool will
not operate

Excessive start-up load If appliance does not start,

appliance is drawing too
much voltage and will not
work with this inverter.

Motorized power tool 
does not operate at 
correct speed

Purely inductive load

Make the load not purely
inductive (i.e., operate an
incandescent lamp at the
same time as power tool).

Television/radio
interference

Snow in picture,
“buzzing” sound

Keep inverter and antenna
distant from each other.
Use shielded antenna.
Connect antenna to
amplifier.
