REASON/SOLUTION
Plug the charger into an AC
outlet.
Check for open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying AC
outlet.
Check for poor connection
to battery and frame. Make
sure connection points are
clean. Rock clamps back
and forth for a better con-
nection.
Unplug the charger and
reverse the clips.
Have battery checked.
Use a shorter or heavier
gauge extension cord.
A sulfated battery will
eventually take a normal
charge if left connected. If
the battery will not take a
charge, have it checked.
No problem, this is a normal
condition. Continue to
charge the battery and see
BATTERY PERCENT AND
CHARGE TIME section,
CHARGE RATE subsection.
If your battery does not
have 1 volt, you must press
and hold the START/STOP
( ) button for five sec-
onds.
The charger has thermal
protection, and it will shut
down if it gets too hot.
Unplug the AC cord and
let the charger cool down.
Make sure there is noth-
ing obstructing the air flow
to the fans, clean them as
shown in MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Blow the dirt and grime off
the fan blades using com-
pressed air as described
in the MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
