7.IF THE INVERTER FUSE BLOWS

Your power inverter is fitted with a fuse, which should not have to be replaced under normal operating conditions. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse polarity or a short circuit within the device or equipment being operated.

If the fuse does blow:

1.Disconnect the device or equipment immediately.

2.Find the source of the problem and repair it.

3.Install a new fuse (15A). The fuse can be found on the end of the plug on the inverter.

4.Do not tighten the fuse cap too tight; finger-tight is sufficient.

ATTENTION: Do not install a fuse higher than 15A, as this may damage

the inverter. Make sure to correct the cause of the blown fuse before using the inverter again.
