BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS

16.1 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 clips for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the
clips and from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.
16.2 When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated
amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force
higher amperage into it than it can effectively use
in recharging.
16.3 When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the complete manual and
call the customer service number for information that will usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for information
about troubleshooting, call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.

REASON/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 6 minutes of rest time
before the next crank.
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 reset. Make sure the
charger vents are not blocked.
Wait and try again.
On a severely discharged
battery, charge for 10 to 15
minutes in the 55 amp rate to
help assist in cranking.
