Suggested Remedy
Check battery voltage.
Turn unit off. Reduce the load,
wait for the inverter to cool
down, then turn the unit on
again.
Check DC input — fuse(s) in
vehicle. Replace the fuse with
one of the same type and rating
if necessary.
Recharge battery. Remove
load from the inverter while
recharging battery.
Tighten all DC connections.
If appliance does not start,
appliance is drawing
excessive voltage and
will not work with inverter.
Make the load not purely
inductive. Operate an
incandescent lamp at the
same time as motor.
Keep inverter and antenna
distant from each other. Use
shielded antenna. Connect
antenna to amplifier.
