Manual Charging
When a Manual Charge is performed, the charger will continue to charge and
will not shut off. You must keep a visual check on the ammeter to determine
when the battery is charged. Be sure to monitor the charging process and stop
it when the battery is charged. Not doing so may cause damage to your battery
or result in other property damage or personal injury.
Using the Engine Start feature
Your battery charger can be used to jumpstart your car if the battery is low.
Follow these instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature.
Follow all safety instructions and precautions for charging
your battery. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Charge
your battery in a well-ventilated area.
Using the ENGINE START feature WITHOUT a battery
installed in the vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not
use the engine start feature, or it could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
1.
Set the charge rate switch and the timer to the OFF position.
2. With the charger unplugged from the A.C. outlet, connect the charger to
the battery following the instructions given in section 6 (FOLLOW THESE
STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE).
3. Plug the charger A.C. power cord into the A.C. outlet, and then move the
timer switch from OFF to the HOLD position.
4. With the charger plugged in and connected to the battery of the vehicle, set
the charge rate selector switch to the engine start position.
5. Crank the engine until it starts or 5 seconds pass. If the engine does not
start, wait 4 minutes before cranking again. This allows the charger and
battery to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is under 2 volts, charge
the battery for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.
6. If the engine fails to start, charge the battery for 5 more minutes before
attempting to crank the engine again.
7. After the engine starts, move the charge rate selector switch and timer to
the off position and unplug the A.C. power cord before disconnecting the
battery clips from the vehicle.
8. Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but never starts, there is not a problem
with the starting system; there is a problem somewhere else with the vehicle.
STOP cranking the engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and
corrected.
