USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump start your car if the battery is low. Follow
these instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature.
1. Connect the charger to the battery and
vehicle as instructed in the "Charging
your battery" section on page 8.
2. Set the right hand SELECTOR
SWITCH on ENGINE START.
3. Crank the engine for no more than 5
seconds. If it does not start, wait at
least 4 minutes before cranking
again. In extreme cold or if the battery
is severely discharged, charge the
battery in the 12 amp position for about
5 minutes before cranking the engine.
4. After the engine starts, unplug the
charger power cord from the AC outlet.
Then disconnect the charger from the
battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to start the
engine without a battery in it. You could
cause damage to the electrical system.
If the engine does turn over, but never
starts up, there is not a problem with the
starting system, there is a problem
somewhere else in the vehicle. STOP
cranking the engine until the other
problem has been identified and
corrected.
