Note: Most devices require an initial surge of power to start. Most devices can be started up with two
times their power rating. Be aware of the start-up power of the device(s) you intend to use for the
inverter. This inverter has the start-up capacity two times of rated power. The combined loads must
not exceed the rated power. The less combined wattage that is used, the longer the inverter will
operate before it needs to be recharged.
After Each Use
When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the DC input cables from the battery to prevent a
slight discharge of battery.
Maintenance
The inverter will operate efficiently when maintained properly. Follow these steps:
 Clean the exterior surface of the inverter with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and
dirt.
 Tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.
 Recharge the battery before it is drained to 50%. This will extend the durability and efficiency of
the battery.
Troubleshooting
Use the table below to troubleshoot problems before contacting service personnel or your local
dealer. If the problem continues after troubleshooting, call your local dealer for assistance.
Problem
Cause
Solution
No power and no
indicator.
Battery is defective.
Replace battery.
Blown fuse.
Check and replace fuse.
Loose cable connections.
Check the connection to the battery.
Tighten as required.
LCD screen displays
a message.
LCD shows overload. The
actual output is higher than the
rated power of the inverter.
Overload protection has
occurred.
Reduce load so it has the actual
output lower than rated power of the
inverter.
LCD shows an overload. The
actual output is less than the
rated power but the high
starting surge has caused an
overload shut-down.
Plug in an item with a starting surge
power within the inverter’s
capability.
LCD shows low battery power.
The voltage input from the car
battery is lower than 10.5V (too
low).
Charge the battery.
LCD shows the inverter is
overheated due to poor
ventilation and has shut-down.
Disconnect the inverter from the
battery or DC socket and allow it to
cool for 15 minutes. Be sure to
remove objects covering the unit.
