Fuse
CAUTIONS
This inverter is tted with
a spade type 32Vdc 15A
fuse. If the fuse blows,
replace with a same speci-
cation and type fuse. Us-
age of another type fuse or
metal wire will cause ab-
normal overheating or even
re hazards.
Note: When replacing the fuse,
please make sure that all the
electrical device(s) are turned
off and the power cables are

Trouble Shooting
Problem: No Power Output, indicator not ON
Possible causes and suggestions:
• The car’s battery is low (<11.5Vdc) or defective
Start the engine to recharge or replace the car’s battery
if needed. Disconnect the input cable before starting
the car’s engine to minimize power surge. If such a case
occurs, reconnect the cable to resume normal operation.
• Connection cable is not secured
Reconnect the cables and make sure all plugs are
secured.
• Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to continuous 100 watts or below and use
equipment with starting surge power within inverter
capability.
• Inverter in thermal shut down condition
Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation
around the unit.
