Condition
Solution
Poor contact
Clean contact parts thoroughly

too low
Start the engine to recharge the
battery. Replace the battery if
needed.

overload
Reduce the wattage of inverter’s load
Thermal shutdown
Allow the inverter to cool down by
reducing the load or turn it off for a
while.
Receptacle has no
power
Check the receptacle wiring.
MAINTENANCE
Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter
operating properly.
DESCRIPTION
500W Peak Power
— allow you to power appliances
that require a large amount of initial (peak) power to
work (such as many TVs and motor-power equipments).
Low Battery Alarm
— the inverter sounds an audible
alarm then turns itself off if the source battery becomes
too low.
Auto Shutdown/Reset Protection
— the inverter
temporarily shuts itself down to protect itself from
overheating.
Overload/Short Circuit Protection
— the inverter
automatically turns itself off if the connected load is too
high or if it shorts.
Fuse
— the inverter comes with fuse/s already installed
and easily changed if it is damaged.
Dual AC Outlets
— allows you to power up to two
appliances at the same time.
HEAT DISPERSAL
The inverter generates heat while it is working. This is
not a malfunction. However, if the inverter gets too hot
while working, it will turn off by itself.
Position the inverter where air flows freely around it to
allow the heat to disperse.
The inverter’s thermal protection prevents it from
operating when its temperature exceeds 130 ± 10
