POSSIBLE CAUSE
Drawing more than the
Engine Start Rate.
Failure to wait 3 minutes
(180 seconds) between
cranks.

cord is loose.

• 12 •
SOLUTION
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.
Wait 3 minutes of rest
time before the next
crank, to allow the battery
and charger to cool down.
Check for poor connection
at battery and frame.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
fitting plug.
Check for open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying
AC outlet.
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.
On a severely discharged
battery, use the Boost
setting for few minutes,
to help assist in cranking.
If the above solutions do
not eliminate the problem,
