How to Tweak the Outback Inverter

Power inverters, such as the ones manufactured and distributed by Outback, are used to convert electrical power from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). If you find that your inverter is not operating properly, you may need to tweak the device by manipulating the screws on the inverter's wiring compartment board. With a common household tool, you can perform this procedure.
