4. The case temperature becomes hot (exceeds 145°F). Allow the converter to
cool. Do not block the cooling slots or air flow over and through the converter.
Reduce the load on the converter to the continuous rated output.
RESET: To reset after shutdown occurs, remove the 12 volt plug from the accessory
outlet. Check the source of the problem and correct. Reinsert the 12 volt plug into
the accessory outlet.
8. IF THE CONVERTER’S FUSE BLOWS
Your power converter is fitted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced
under normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse
polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.
If the fuse does blow:
1. Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.
2. Find the source of the problem and repair it.
3. Install a new 15 amp fuse. The fuse can be found on the end of the plug on the
converter.
4. Do not overtighten the fuse cap; finger-tight is sufficient.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a fuse higher than 15 amp, as this may damage the
converter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using the
converter again.
