USING ENGINE START
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low. Fol-
low these instructions on how to use the
ENGINE START feature.
IMPORTANT: Follow all safety instructions
and precautions when charging your bat-
tery. Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Charge your battery
in a welt-ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed in
the vehicle could cause damage to the
vehicle's electrical system.
1. For battery connections, see page 6
and follow instructions 1-6 of CHARG-
ING BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE. With
the charger plugged in and connected
to the battery of the vehicle, set the
CHARGE RATE to 125A START. Only
the 125A START, VOLTAGE, and
CHARGING LEDs should be lit.
2. Crank the engine until it starts or 5sec-
onds passes. If engine does not start,
wait 3 minutes before cranking again.
3. After the engine starts, unplug the power
cord before disconnecting the output
clamps from the battery.
4. Clean and store the charger in a dry
location.
NOTE: During the starting sequence
listed above, the charger is set to one of
three states.
1. Wait for cranking - The charger waits
until the engine is actually being cranked
before delivering 125 amps for engine
start. The charger delivers charge at a
rate of up to 15 amps while waiting and
will reset if the engine is not cranked
within 15 minutes. (If the charger re-
sets, it sets itself for a 2A charge and
REGULAR battery.) While waiting for
cranking, the digital display shows
the battery voltage (it can't be set to
percent).
2. Cranking - When cranking is detected,
the charger witl automatically deliver up
to its maximum output (at least 125A) as
required by the starting system for up
to 5 seconds or until the engine crank-
ing stops. The digital display shows a
countdown of the remaining crank time
