Maintenance

 

Very little maintenance is required to keep the inverter operating

 

properly. The exterior of the unit should be cleaned periodically

 

 

 

 

 

with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt. At the

 

 

 

 

 

same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. Be sure

 

 

 

 

 

vents and fans are free of dust or debris.
