    • Disconnect the inverter cable by pulling its connector away from the socket on the inverter board.

    • The inverter board is a very thin and delicate circuit board that is easily broken. Use caution.

    • Make sure to grasp the inverter cabling by the black tape and not the individual wires. Pulling the wires themselves will surely damage the inverter cable.
