Suggested Remedy
Recharge the battery.
Investigate for short circuit. Replace
with same type fuse.
Disconnect load from inverter.
Operate inverter without load for a
few minutes. Reconnect load.
With the appliance switch on, turn
the inverter Power Switch ON, OFF
and back ON several times. If
appliance won't start, it is
incompatible with inverter.
Tighten all DC connections;
replace DC cable with heavier
gauge
Recharge battery. Remove load
from inverter while recharging
battery.
If appliance does not start, appliance
is drawing too much voltage and will
not work with this inverter.
Make the load not purely inductive
(i.e., operate an incandescent lamp
at the same time as power tool).
Keep inverter and antenna distant
from each other. Use shielded
antenna. Connect antenna to
amplifier.
