BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS

17.1 When 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.
17.2
When 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.
17.3 When 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.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Drawing more than 300
amps (12V).
Failure to wait 5 minutes
(300 seconds) between
cranks.
Clips are not making a good
connection.
AC cord and/or extension
cord is loose.
No power at receptacle.
The charger may be
overheated.
Battery may be severely
discharged.
Clips are not making a good

REASON/SOLUTION
Crank time varies with the
amount of current drawn. If
cranking draws more than
300 amps, crank time may
be less than 3 seconds.
Wait 5 minutes of rest time
before the next crank.
Check for poor connection at
battery and frame.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose
fitting plug.
Check for open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying AC
outlet.
The thermal protector may
have tripped and needs a
little longer to reset. Make
sure the charger vents are
not blocked. Wait and try
again.
On a severely discharged
battery, charge for 10 to 15
minutes in the manual rate
to help assist in cranking.
Check for poor connection
at battery and frame. Make
sure connecting points are
clean. Rock clips back and
forth for a better connection.
