PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REASON/SOLUTION
The 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.
Short or no start cycle
when cranking engine.
No power at receptacle.
AC cord and/or extension cord
is loose.
The clamps are not making a
good connection.
Failure to wait 3 minutes (180
seconds) between cranks.
The battery may be severely
discharged.
The battery is drawing more
than the Engine Start Rate.
The charger may be
overheated.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and extension
cord for loose fitting plug.
Check for poor connection at
battery and frame.
Wait 3 minutes of rest time before
the next crank, to allow the battery
and charger to cool down.
On a severely discharged battery,
use the 10A Boost setting for few
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
Crank time varies with the amount
of current drawn. If cranking draws
more than the Engine Start Rate,
crank time may be less than 3
seconds.
The thermal protector may have
tripped and needs a little longer to
close. Make sure the charger vents
are not blocked. Wait and try again.
