Engine Starting, the unit will automatically
exit from the charging mode, just as if the
STOP button had been pressed; the ON
LED will not be lit.
POWER-UP AUTO-START
This charger is equipped with an auto-start
feature, which is triggered only when the
charger is first powered up. If the START
button is not pressed within 30 seconds,
the unit will search for a battery. If the unit
detects a battery that is properly connected,
the unit will set the rate to Boost, and it will
automatically start the charge process. The
On (yellow/orange) LED will light.
FAN OPERATION
The fan will operate as needed and it is
normal for the fan to sometimes operate
continuously. Keep the area near the
charger clear of obstructions to allow the
fan to operate efficiently.
12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps on the handle, clipped
together, on or around metal, or clipped
to the cables.
13. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Charger will not turn on when
properly connected.
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
fitting plug.
Engine start does
not work.
Drawing more than the
Engine Start rate.
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 the
Engine Start rate, 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 Boost rate
for 10 to 15 minutes, to help
assist in cranking.
