USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Follow
all safety instructions and precautions for
charging your battery. Wear complete eye
protection and protective clothing.
WARNING:
Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed
in the vehicle will damage the vehicle’s
electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery
and it still will not start your car, do not
use the Engine Start feature, or it will
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
Have the battery checked.
1. Set the switch to the OFF position.
2. With the charger unplugged from the
AC outlet, connect the charger to the
battery following the instructions given
in Charging a Battery in the Vehicle .
3. Plug the charger AC power cord into
the AC outlet.
4. With the charger plugged in and
connected to the battery of the vehicle,
set the ON/OFF switch to the
Engine Start position. The Engine Start
LED will illuminate.
5. Crank the engine until it starts.
If engine does not start within 5
seconds, wait 45 seconds before
trying again. NOTE: After 3 minutes in
ENGINE START mode, unit will enter
into a COOL-DOWN period of 180
seconds to allow the charger and the
battery to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather,
or if the battery is under 2 volts, boost
the battery for 5 minutes or more before
cranking the engine.
6. If the engine fails to start, use the
20A Boost rate for 5 minutes before
attempting to crank the engine again.
7. After the engine starts, move the switch
to the OFF position and unplug the AC
power cord before disconnecting the
battery clips from the vehicle.
8. Clean and store the charger in a dry
location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but
never starts, there is not a problem with
the starting system; there is a problem
somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP
cranking the engine until the other problem
has been diagnosed and corrected.

Times are based on a 50% discharged
battery and may change, depending on age
and condition of battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off and the
red BAD BATTERY LED will light. Do
not continue attempting to charge this
battery. Check the battery and replace, if
necessary.
DESULFATION MODE
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours.
If desulfation fails, charging will abort and
red BAD BATTERY LED will light.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
Charged/Maintaining (green) LED. When
this LED is lit, the charger has switched to
the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining
(green) LED is lit, the charger has
started maintain mode. In this mode, the
charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a small current when
necessary. If the charger has to provide
its maximum maintain current for a
continuous 12 hour period, it will go into
abort mode (see Aborted Charge section).
This is usually 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.
