16.BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS

16.1When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge. Use a good battery to 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.

16.2When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw 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.

16.3When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the 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.
