DESCRIPTION
REASON/SOLUTION
F07
The charger shut off because
its internal temperature exceeds
limit.
Make sure the charger does not have the side
ventilation holes blocked. Move the charger out
of the sun and into the shade.
F08
The battery voltage dropped too
low during the maintain mode.
May be caused by a drain on the battery or the
battery could be bad. Make sure there are no loads
on the battery. If there are, remove them. If there are
none, have the battery checked or replaced.
If you get an error code, check the connections and settings and/or replace the battery.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
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.
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.
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.
• When an UNKNOWN OPERATING
PROBLEM arises, please read
the complete manual and call
the customer service number
for information. This will usually
eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem,
or for information about troubleshooting or replacement parts,
call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
