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.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem,
or for information about troubleshooting or replacement parts,
POSSIBLE CAUSE
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Battery is defective.
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.
call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
1-800-621-5485
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
fitting plug.
Have the battery checked.
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.
• 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.
