Operating Procedures
!
The ambient temperature may cause the unit’s protective “over-temperature”
sensors to shut down the 120-240 ac functions (converter and charger) until
the unit cools to normal operating temperatures. If the unit shuts itself down,
get the unit into a cooler environment such as shade or air conditioning
(if possible). Perform a full function check prior to continued use once the
unit is allowed to cool. For continued use in extremely hot environments, it
is advised to send the unit back to Tesla™ for recalibration for use in these
environments.
NOTE
!
In the event that the temperature sensors do not shut the system down,
extended use above specified limits may damage the unit. If the unit is
operated when cold or heat soaked temperatures are exceeded, a full
functional check should be accomplished prior to continued use.

3.5 – Engine Starting Power
Operators should always ensure the unit is charged above 80% prior to ground support engine starting.
However, circumstances may exist during use where unit recharge is not readily available and immediate
external engine starting power is required. The following provides minimum states of charge necessary to
provide ample power for an efficient engine start under specific current load demands.
