14. USING ENGINE START
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.
IMPORTANT: Follow all safety instructions and precautions when
charging your battery. Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Charge your battery in a well-ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: Using the ENGINE START feature WITHOUT a battery
installed in the vehicle could cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
4.. For battery connections, see page 6 and follow instructions. With the
charger plugged in and connected to the battery of the vehicle, press the
CHARGING/STARTING button until the ENGINE START LED is lit. Only
the ENGINE START, CHARGING, CONNECTED, and VOLTAGE LEDs
should be lit, unless the 6V STANDARD battery type has been selected.
In that case, the 6V STANDARD LED will also be lit.
4.2 Crank the engine for no more than 5 seconds. If engine does not start,
wait 3 minutes before cranking again.
4.3 After the engine starts, unplug the power cord before disconnecting the
output clamps from the battery.
4.4 Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
NOTE: During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to
one of three states.
4.5 Wait for cranking - The charger waits until the engine is actually being
cranked before delivering 25 amps for engine start. The charger delivers
charge at a rate of up to 5 amps while waiting and will reset if the engine
is not cranked within 5 minutes. (If the charger resets, it sets itself for a
SMALL BATTERY charge and 2V STANDARD BATTERY type.) While
waiting for cranking, the digital display shows the battery voltage (it can't
be set to percent).
4.6 Cranking - When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically
deliver up to its maximum output (at least 25A) as required by the starting
system for up to 5 seconds or until the engine cranking stops. The digital
display shows a countdown of the remaining crank time in seconds. It
starts at 5 and counts down to 0.
4.7 Cool Down - After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 3-minute
(80 second) cool down state. During this period, no settings can be
changed. The buttons are ignored. The digital display indicates the
remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 80 and counts down
to 0. The ENGINE START LED blinks once every second. During the
cool down period, no current is delivered to the battery. After 3 minutes,
the ENGINE START LED will stop blinking and will light continuously,
indicating that another crank cycle can be started. The digital display
will change from displaying the countdown back to displaying the battery
voltage. The CHARGING LED will then be lit.
