OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ENGINE STARTING
The battery charger can provide a high-current output to help start a vehicle with a weak battery. However, the outboard
computer in some vehicles can be damaged when attempting to jump start.
ALWAYS READ THE VEHICLE OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE BOOSTING to determine if jump starting can do
damage to the vehicle. If not, read and follow these instructions.
CAUTION: Do not try to jump start a vehicle that does not contain a battery or you may damage electrical systems
in the vehicle. In addition, this charger is not designed to jump start a vehicle that does not contain a battery.
1. Upon making a proper battery connection (see Section F), plug AC power cord into an AC receptacle. All unit LEDs
will light momentarily, then only the LEDs corresponding to charger settings should stay lit. The charger is now in
Standby Mode.
2. Charge the battery for 10 minutes using the appropriate settings for the size and type of battery installed in the vehicle.
3. After 10 minutes, press the "START/STOP" button to stop charging and return the charger to Standby Mode.
4. Press Mode button (No. 1) button until the "Boost" LED is lit.
5. Press "START/STOP" button and attempt to start the vehicle.
CAUTION: Remember to follow the duty cycle! If the vehicle doesn't start after 5 seconds, stop and wait for 4 minutes.
The charger is equipped with a safety mechanism that limits crank duration to protect internal components.
CAUTION: Excessive, continuous engine cranking can damage vehicle starter motors.
6. When you are finished with the boosting process, press the "START/STOP" button to return the charger to Standby
Mode. Disconnect AC power cord from AC outlet, then disconnect DC leads from vehicle ground and battery in the
reverse sequence of the connection procedure.
Note: If the engine spins but fails to start after several starting attempts, there is an engine problem not related to the
starting system. Discontinue cranking the engine until the other problem is found and corrected.

CAUTION – Make sure charger is unplugged from
electrical outlet before performing any maintenance.
A minimum amount of care can keep your battery charger
working and looking good for years.
1. Clean the clamps after each use. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps
to prevent corrosion. Battery fluid may be neutralized
with a solution of water and baking soda.
