Turn the ignition to “accessory” position
• Battery voltage is below 10 volts
Recharge or replace the battery
• Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to maximum 100 watts
• Inverter in thermal shut down condition
Allow the inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation around the
unit.

Problem: Low Output Voltage
Possible cause and suggestions:
