Suggested remedy
Some types of loads will not allow the inverter to turn on.
These type of loads are inductive (an example would be a
fan). Turn the Inverter power switch off and unplug the
load(s) from the inverter then turn the inverter On. Now con-
nect the load(s).
Turn Inverter power switch off and then on again until the
Inverter powers your appliance. Repeat as necessary to get
your appliance "started".
Turn ignition to accessory position.
Recharge or replace battery.
Reduce load to maximum 100 watts.
Allow Inverter to cool down. Ensure there is ventilation
around unit. Ensure that load is no more than 100 watts for
continuous operation.
Replace fuse with a new 10 Amp fuse (blade type), then
ensure that the red clip is connected to the positive termi-
nal and the black clip to the negative terminal.
