spark when touched
together.
The charger will not
turn on when properly
connected.
I cannot select a 6V or
12V setting.

DESCRIPTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The charger is equipped with an auto-
start feature. It will not supply current
to the battery clamps until a battery is
properly connected. The clamps will not
spark if touched together.
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Battery is defective.
The charger is equipped with Auto
Voltage Detection, which automatically
detects the voltage and charges the
battery.
If the START/STOP button is not
pressed, charging should begin in
thirty seconds.
REASON/SOLUTION
The battery could be bad. Have it checked or
replaced.
The battery could not be desulfated; have it
checked or replaced.
May be caused by trying to charge a large battery
or bank of batteries on too low of a current setting.
Try again with a higher current setting or have the
battery checked or replaced.
The battery is connected backwards. Unplug the
charger and reverse the connections to the battery.
The battery won't hold a charge. May be caused
by a drain on the battery or the battery could be
bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If
there are, remove them. If there are none, have the
battery checked or replaced.
The charger automatically shuts the current off
if it detects the battery may be getting too hot.
Have the battery checked or replaced.
No problem; this is a normal condition.
