USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump start your car if the battery is low.
IMPORTANT: Follow the same safety instructions and precautions as when charging the battery. Wear
complete eye protection and clothing protection. Charge your battery in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING: Using the Engine Start feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the vehicle will damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
NOTE: If the engine turns 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.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not use the Engine Start
feature, or it could damage the vehicle's electrical system. Have the battery checked.
Engine Start Mode
1. Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (center) position.
2. Connect the charger to the battery and AC power, as explained in Follow These Steps When Battery
Is Installed In Vehicle.
3. With the charger plugged in and connected to the battery of the vehicle, set the ON/OFF switch to the
Engine Start position. If the battery is properly connected, the yellow/orange Engine Start LED will light
solid and the display will show the current voltage of the battery. If the display shows "0.0", check the
battery connections.
4. Use the Rate Selection button to select the Engine Start rate.
5. Press the START button to enable the Engine Start output. The display will show "ON".
6. When the Digital Display shows "Rdy", crank the engine until it starts or 5 seconds pass. If the
engine does not start within 5 seconds, wait 45 seconds before attempting to crank the engine
again. NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is under two volts, first boost the
battery in Boost mode for at least several minutes before using the Engine Start feature.
NOTE: After 3 minutes in Engine Start mode, the charger will allow the charger and the battery to cool down
for 180 seconds. If the engine fails to start, use the Boost mode to put energy into the battery for several
minutes before attempting to crank the engine again.
