From what I have discovered, the inverter can handle much more than 170 watts. I use it to run an air blower to fill my camping mattresses on every camping trip, and that thing is a beast. It does however trip off the inverter on the first few "cold" start cycles.

The trick to understanding the inverter on our JL's is that the plug *IS* the switch. Literally, inside of the outlet is a switch. The inverter only turns on when a plug is inserted. So, when the manual says to reset the inverter, it's as simple as removing whatever cord from the 110v outlet for a few seconds and plugging it back in again. This is how I get the inverter to run my air blower.

I am not aware of any other reset switches. As others have mentioned, there is however a fuse in the engine bay PDC (fuse box) for it.

Do you happen to know how many watts that air blower was?
