Operation for the 2A Maintainer
Connect the extension cord to the charger, and connect the Clamp
cable or Ring cable to the battery, positive (+) to positive (+), negative
(-) to negative (-). Then connect the clamp cable or ring cable to the
extension cord. The red wiring LED will light up if you connect the
cables to the battery incorrectly, and the green LED will light up if you
connected the cables correctly.
NOTE: The digital display will show a moving “8” when the 2Amp
Maintainer cord is in use. Do not use the battery maintainer and the
battery charger simultaneously.
8. USING THE ENGINE START
Your battery charger can be used to jump start your vehicle if the battery
is low.
IMPORTANT:
The Engine Start feature cannot be used if a battery is not
installed in the vehicle. The charger must detect some voltage from the
battery or it will not go into Engine Start mode.
1. Make battery and AC connections as outlined in
“CHARGING A
BATTERY INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE.”
2. Press
the
Engine Start
button.
Once the Engine Start button is pressed, the charger will begin to
charge the battery at up to 25A until an attempt is made to crank
the engine.
3. Crank the engine for no more than 5 seconds. If the engine does
not start, wait at least 3 minutes before attempting crank again.
Only when actual engine cranking is detected will the charger
then automatically deliver 75A for up to 5 seconds or until the
cranking stops. The digital display will countdown the crank time
in seconds, starting at 555, 444, 333… down to 000.
After 5 seconds of cranking, the charger automatically enters cool
down mode for 3 minutes to protect the charger, battery and
starter from damage. The digital display will begin counting down
in seconds from 180 down to 0. During this time, the charger will
continue to charge the battery at a rate of up to 25A.
4. After the engine starts, unplug the AC cord and disconnect the
cables from the battery.
