A minimal amount of care can keep your battery
charger working properly for years.
1. Clean the clamps each time you are finished
charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have
come in contact with the clamps to prevent
corrosion.
2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing
the charger. The cords can be wrapped around
the handle of the charger. This will help prevent
accidental damage to the cords and charger.
3. Occasional cleaning of the case with a soft cloth
will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corro-
sion.
Maintenance and care
Using the engine start feature
Your battery charger can be used to jump-start your
car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions when
using the ENGINE START feature.
1. Set the POWER switch to the OFF position. Then
follow the instructions for connecting the charger
to the battery and power source in the section
“Charging a battery in the vehicle.”
2. Set the BATTERY switch to 6V or 12V to match
the battery’s voltage.
3. Set the POWER switch to the ON position. The
METER display will show MAN (manual mode).
4. Touch RESET, MANUAL and ENGINE START
PADS in that order. Wait for the display to show
RDY. The charger is now ready to have the
engine cranked.
5. Crank the engine for no more than 5 seconds. If
it does not start, wait 4 minutes. (The display will
show WAIT during this time and RDY when the
time is up.)
6. During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is
severely exhausted, charge the battery for about 5
minutes before cranking the engine.
7. If the engine still does not start, charge the battery
for five more minutes before cranking it again for
three seconds.
8. After the engine starts, unplug the charger power
cord from the outlet. Then move the POWER
switch to the OFF position before disconnecting
the battery leads.
