alleviate the problem:
•
Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back of the power inverter is solidly
connected to the ground system of your vehicle, boat or home.
•
Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching television.
•
Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate ("snow
free") signal and that you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the
TV.
•
Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
•
Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible
and twist them together with about two to three twists per foot. This minimizes
radiated interference from the cables.

8. Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should
clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust
and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.

Inverter Owner's Manual
Solution
Turn inverter ON. Check wiring to
inverter.
Have qualified service technician
check and replace.
Have qualified service technician
check and replace fuse, OBSERVE
CORRECT POLARITY.
Make sure that inverter is
connected to 12 V or 24 V battery.
Check regulation of charging
system.
Use proper cable and make solid
connections. Use new battery.
Reduce load.
Recharge battery, check
connections and cable.
Allow inverter to cool off. Reduce
load if continuous operation
required.
Improve ventilation, make sure
ventilation openings in inverter are
not obstructed, reduce ambient
temperature.
Check AC wiring for short circuit or
improper polarity (hot and neutral
reversed).
Remove or reduce load
