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.Set the right-hand OUTPUT SELECTOR switch to the OFF position. Then follow the instructions for connecting the charger to the battery in the section “Charging your battery in the vehicle” see page 8.

2.Once the charger is connected, set the right-hand selector switch to SELECT and set the left selec- tor switch to the 200 AMP START position.

3.Plug the power cord into a grounded AC wall outlet.

4.Crank the engine for no more than five seconds. If the engine does not start, wait four minutes before cranking again.

5.During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is severely exhausted, charge the battery for about five minutes before cranking the engine.

6.If the engine still does not start, charge the battery for five more minutes in the 40 AMP position before cranking it again for five seconds.

7.After the engine starts, unplug the charger power cord from the outlet. Then move the right-hand SELECTOR SWITCH to the OFF

position before disconnecting the battery leads.

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 with the vehicle. STOP cranking the engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and corrected.

Maintenance and care

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.
