a low voltage battery.

The charger was on for more 

than 5 minutes before it was

Failure to wait 3 minutes (180 

seconds) between cranks.

The charger may be 

overheated. 

Battery may be severely 

discharged. 

Crank time varies with the amount 

of current drawn. If cranking draws 

more than 200 amps, 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 40A Boost rate for 10 to 15 

minutes, to help assist in cranking.

• 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.

• 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.
