PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REASON/SOLUTION
Charger will not turn on
when properly connected.
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Check for open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying AC
outlet.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
tting plug.
The battery is connected
and the charger is on, but is
not charging.
Clips are not making a good
connection.
Check for poor connection
at battery and frame. Make
sure connecting points are
clean. Rock clips back and
forth for a better connection.
The measured current is
much lower than what was
selected.
The charger reached the
maximum voltage and is
reducing the current.
No problem, this is a normal
condition.
BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS16.
When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable 16.1
of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, AC outlet for
the correct voltage, charger clips for correct polarity and the quality of the
connections from the cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery
system. The clips must be clean.
When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw 16.2
the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging
to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in
recharging.
When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the 16.3
complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will
usually eliminate the need for return.
