1. Unplug charger and check con-
nections as described above.
2. Determine if charger is charging; if
meter indicates any amperage,
charger is working; if no amperage
is indicated, wait several minutes
and recheck. Charger thermal pro-
tector may have tripped.
3. If engine turns over but does not
start, problem is with vehicle, not
charger. Service vehicle.
1. The output clamps will have no
output in the automatic settings
until some voltage from the battery
is present at the clamps. In the
manual settings, there should
always be voltage at the clamps.
If all recommended possible areas of
misadjustment have been checked
and the problem persists. Call 1-
