IC-2000 Terminal block screws coming loose

INTRODUCTION 

The Go Power! 2000 watt Inverter Charger 2000 delivers top features and performance at an economical price. It is a 3-in-1 system that expertly combines an inverter, battery charger and automatic transfer switch into one powerful and lightweight unit. The GP-IC-2000 has a compact footprint that saves space and simplifies installation - there are fewer components and cables to install! The two 50 amp legs set its performance apart from common 50 amp inverter chargers. The configuration allows users to make full use of a 100 amp shore power service (240V) by passing through up to 12,000 watts of power! It is also compatible with all 30 amp services. The inverter charger also includes a battery temperature sensor helping extend battery life.

 

The terminal Block screws on the IC-2000 are not tight enough from the factory.  The screws are vibrating loose over time causing pass through and connection issues.  Some screws are vibrating loose to the point where the connections start to arch and heat up.

Examples:

 

 

Resolution:

 

The screws need to be re-tightened to a torque of 16 in lbf (1.8 N-m)
