Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REASON/SOLUTION
Charger will not turn
on when properly
connected.
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Battery is defective.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and extension
cord for loose fitting plug.
Have the battery checked.
Three LEDs come on for
2 seconds, then turn off.
The charger is plugged into an
AC outlet.
No problem; this is normal.
Engine start does
not work.
Drawing more than 250 amps.
Failure to wait 3 minutes (180
seconds) between cranks.
The charger may be
overheated.
Battery may be severely
discharged.
Crank time varies with the
amount of current drawn. If
cranking draws more than 250
amps, crank time may be less
than 5 seconds.
When the Engine Start LED
blinks, wait 3 minutes of rest time
before the next crank.
The thermal protector may have
tripped and needs a little longer
to reset. Make sure the charger
vents are not blocked. Wait and
try again.
On a severely discharged battery,
use the 40A Boost rate for 10 to 15
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
The Boost LED is
flashing.
The charger was left in Boost
mode for an extended period
of time.
The Boost LED will flash for 30
minutes, then go off, and the
Charging LED will light, indicating
the charger has switched to
Charging mode.
14. BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS
•
When a charging problem arises, make
certain that the battery is capable of
accepting a normal charge. Double check
all connections, the AC outlet for a full
120 volts, the charger clamps for correct
polarity and the quality of the connections
from the cables to the clamps and from
the clamps to the battery system. The
clamps must be clean.
