4.7 INVERTER FUSE REPLACEMENT
The following assumes that the Main Unit battery has a charge and that there is no output from
the 110 VAC receptacle. If you find that a fuse is blown (open) determine the cause of the short
before restarting the power inverter again. Fuse Replacement in Automobile: Most automobile
cigarette lighter circuits use fuses at 15 Amps or greater. The inverter can deliver 180 watts with
a 20 Amp lighter socket fuse. The inverter must be removed from the Main Unit to gain access
to the fuse. The fuse, spade lug type 30 amperes) is located under the black protective cap on
the connector end of the inverter.
1. Lift off the protective cap from the inverter and set it aside.
2. Press the release buttons that hold the inverter in place and slide the inverter out of the
mounting.
3. Lift the end of the black protective fuse cover closest to the power pins and rotate upwards to
expose top of fuse.
4. Grasp the fuse in the center and pull away from the inverter.
5. Check the fuse visually or with a continuity checker.
6. If fuse is open (blown) replace with another with same type and rating.
7. Close fuse cover and slide inverter back into its mounting and place the On/Off Switch in the
On position.
8. If fuse is good the green LED will light.
9. Check for proper operation by powering a 110 VAC appliance. If there is still a problem,
call Vector Technical Support at 954-584-4446.
NOTE: If the Main Unit battery is discharged, the Inverter may also be quickly checked by
connecting the Inverter Power Cable to the inverter's power pins and plugging the DC Plug
into a known to be operating 12 volt DC accessory socket.
5. COMPRESSOR/TIRE INFLATOR
This built-in 12 Volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all Vehicles, Trailer Tires and
recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle will clip on the
end of the standard tire Valve connector located at the free end of the compressor hose. The
Compressor nozzles are stored inside the Cable Hatch. The compressor hose with tire fitting is
stored in a retaining channel between the jumper cable channels on the rear of the unit. The
Compressor’s ON/OFF Switch is located on the side of the Main Unit near the AC Recharge
Port. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average sized tires before the
Power City internal battery must be recharged. When the Compressor is turned on, the gauge
will light up.
5.1 COMPRESSOR USE
IMPORTANT: Read Instructions Carefully To Avoid Possible Injury Or Property Damage.
The Compressor may be used by removing the air hose from it’s storage channel and fitting an
appropriate nozzle to the air hose. An On/Off switch located on the Main Unit controls the
power to the Compressor. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for locations of Compressor Switch and
Nozzle Storage Hatch.
For Nighttime use: Remove the Lantern from the Main Unit and power it from the Extension
cord. This way you can position the Lantern to see the Pressure Gauge and the item being
inflated. Refer to Section 6, below.
5.2 WARNINGS
The compressor is capable of inflating to 260 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. To avoid
over-inflation, carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated. Never exceed recom-
mended pressures. Bursting articles can cause serious injury. Always check pressure with the
pressure gauge Never leave compressor unattended while in use. Allow unit to cool after 10
minutes of continuous operation.
