7.After the engine starts, move Output Selector Switch #2 to the OFF position and unplug the A.C. power cord before disconnecting the battery clips from the vehicle.
8.Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but never starts, 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.
12.Calculating charge time
Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the chart.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery’s rating on the chart below, and note the charge time given for each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.
