Troubleshooting

Perform only the steps described in these instructions. All further inspection, maintenance, and repair work must be performed by an authorized service center or a similarly qualified specialist if you cannot solve the problem yourself.

1.  The installed battery pack is out of charge.
2.  The battery charger is over or under the appropriate temperature range (red flashing LED in intervals of 4)
3.  Input voltage is over or under acceptable levels.
4.  The inverter or battery short circuited (red flashing LED in intervals of 4).

|

1.  Replace with a charged battery pack or charge the battery pack.
2.  Unplug the battery from the inverter and move them to a place where it is dry and the temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F). Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. Unplug the unit while it is cooling.
3.  The battery or inverter may be damaged; contact an authorized service dealer.
4.  Remove the battery and restart the inverter after 5 minutes.

The battery pack loses charge quickly.|

1. The battery pack is over or under the appropriate temperature range.

|

1. Move the battery pack to a place where it is dry and the temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F).

The tool does not run or does not run continuously.|

1.  There is moisture on the leads of the battery pack.
2.  The battery is not fully installed into the tool.

|

1.  Allow the battery pack to dry or wipe it dry.
2.  Remove and then replace the battery into the tool making sure that it is fully installed and latched.

Some AC appliances do not start.|

1. The power needed to start some AC appliances may be as much as 2 to 8 times its continuous wattage requirements.

|

1. Read the information panel on each AC appliance carefully to accurately determine the tool’s input wattage.

There is a buzzing sound in some plugged-in audio systems.|

1. The power supply in the electronic device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the inverter.

|

1. Use a higher quality sound system that incorporates a higher quality power amplified supply.

There is a interference in the signal of some plugged-in television devices.|

1.  The TV signal is too weak.
2. The inverter is being used to power other high-power appliances.
3. The antenna/signal cable is damaged or inadequate.
4.  The inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals; the shielding may be damaged.

|

1.  Adjust the orientation of the inverter, the antenna cables, and the TV power cord to minimize interference or move to an area with greater signal reception.
2.  Do not operate high-power appliances or tools when you are watching TV.
3.  Ensure that the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate (“snow free”) signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
4.  Contact an authorized service dealer.

California Proposition 65 Warning Information

What is this warning
You may see a product for sale that has a warning label like the following.

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm—www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.

What is Prop 65
Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. Moreover, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the California government has clarified that a Prop 65 warning “is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented harm. For more information, go to https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/faqs-view-all.

A Prop 65 warning means that a company has either (1) evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) has chosen to provide a warning based on its understanding about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Does this law apply everywhere
Prop 65 warnings are required under California law only. These warnings are seen throughout California in a wide range of settings, including but not limited to restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals, and on a wide variety of products. Additionally, some online and mail order retailers provide Prop 65 warnings on their websites or in catalogs.

How do the California warnings compare to federal limits
Prop 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international standards. There are various substances that require a Prop 65 warning at levels that are far lower than federal action limits. For example, the Prop 65 standard for warnings for lead is 0.5 μg/day, which is well below the federal and international standards.

Why don’t all similar products carry the warning

• Products sold in California require Prop 65 labeling while similar products sold elsewhere do not.
• A company involved in a Prop 65 lawsuit reaching a settlement may be required to use Prop 65 warnings for its products, but other companies making similar products may have no such requirement.
• The enforcement of Prop 65 is inconsistent.
• Companies may elect not to provide warnings because they conclude that they are not required to do so under Prop 65; a lack of warnings for a product does not mean that the product is free of listed chemicals at similar levels.

Why does the manufacturer include this warning
the manufacturer has chosen to provide consumers with as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about the products they buy and use. the manufacturer provides warnings in certain cases based on its knowledge of the presence of one or more listed chemicals without evaluating the level of exposure, as not all the listed chemicals provide exposure limit requirements. While the exposure from the manufacturer products may be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range, out of an abundance of caution, the manufacturer has elected to provide the Prop 65 warnings. Moreover, if the manufacturer does not provide these warnings, it could be sued by the State of California or by private parties seeking to enforce Prop 65 and subject to substantial penalties.
