Hi John,
I'd appreciate you doing that.
1. load the inverter until the fan runs (say five minutes), then turn the inverter off. Does fan continue to run?
2. Charge the battery until the fan runs, leave the inverter on and remove shore power. Does the fan run?
Please don't risk a "melt down" of the inverter. I'd suggest that if the fan does immediately shut down that power be restored asap to allow the cooling to happen.
1. The fan shut off.
I disconnected the load and then turned the inverter on and the fan came back on.
2. The fan runs.
I turned the inverter off and on and the fan came back on.
Conclusion:
The inverter must be on for the fan to run.
Plugging into shore power automatically turns the inverter on.
The inverter must be manually turned off.
HTH;
John
