    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    Trouble with the 3k inverter

    You might want to attach a bigger load to the output terminals instead of the convenience plugs to load the unit up so that you can see if it has been wet stacked. If it runs clean, then you have a great hurricane genset for your well, lights & computer (TV) if we have another big hurricane this...
