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: 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 50A Boost mode to put energy into
the battery for several minutes before
attempting to crank the engine again.
7. After the engine starts, press the STOP
button, set the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF (center) position, unplug the AC
power cord and finally disconnect the
battery clamps from the vehicle, as
explained in sections 6 and 7.
8. Clean and store the charger in a dry
location.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off, and the
display will show "bad bat" and an error
code. Do not continue attempting to charge
this battery. Have it checked or replaced.
DESULFATION MODE
The display will show "SUL" when a sulfated
battery is detected, and the charger will go
into desulfation mode. If the desulfation is
not successful after 10 hours, the charger
will go into abort mode and the display will
show "bAd / bAt / F02".

COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED/MAINTAINING
LED. When lit, the charger has switched to
the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the CHARGED/MAINTAINING
(green) LED is lit, the charger has
started maintain mode. In this mode, the
charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when necessary.
If the charger has to provide its maximum
maintain current for a continuous 12 hour
period, it will go into abort mode (see
Aborted Charge section). This is usually
caused by a drain on the battery or the
battery could be bad. Make sure there are
no loads on the battery. If there are, remove
them. If there are none, have the battery
checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The FR01336 charges and maintains
6V and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at
full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and maintain
a healthy battery for extended periods of
time. However, problems with the battery,
electrical problems in the vehicle, improper
connections or other unanticipated
conditions could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally monitoring your
battery and the charging process is required.
FAN OPERATION
It is normal for the fan to be on all of the
time. Keep the area near the charger
clear of obstructions to allow the fan to
operate efficiently.
