No AC output: yellow LED lit;
green LED not lit
DC input below 10.5 volts
Test batteries and conduct voltage drop test.
Also check the vehicle charging system
No AC output; Red and Green LED
not lit.

Green LED not lit
Inverter overheat
Remove or reduce load, wait for inverter to
cool
No AC output; Red and Green LE
not lit
Inverter output power limited
by overload/short circuit
protection circuit
Reduce load or remove short circuit. Use
Kill-a-Watt to measure load
TV/Radio interference; snow in
picture, buzz in speakers
Appliance too close to inverter
Keep inverter and antenna distant from each
other. Use shielded antenna cable. Connect
antenna with amplifier
Motorized power tool won't start
Excessive start up load
If appliance does not start, then appliance is
drawing excessive wattage and will not work
with this inverter. Check with Kill-a-Watt
tester
Motorized power tool does not
operate at correct speed
Purely inductive load
Make the load not purely inductive. Operate
an incandescent lamp at the same time as
motor
