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, the AC outlet
for a full 120 volts, the 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 the 16.2
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 this 16.3
complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will
usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem, or for information about troubleshooting
or replacement parts, call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
