Using the engine start feature
Your battery charger can be used to jump start your
car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions on
howto use the ENGINE START feature.
1. Connect the charger to the battery, (Follow con­
necting instructions given in "Charging Your
Battery" on page 6.)
2. Set the Selector Switch on ENGINE START.
3. Crank the engine for no more than 7 seconds.
If it does not start, wait at least 4 minutes before
cranking again. In extreme cold or if the battery is
severely discharged, charge the battery for about 5
minutes in the 10 amp postion, before cranking the
engine.
4. Afterthe engine starts, unplug the charger power
cord from the AC outlet. Then dfeconnect the
charger from the battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to start the engine without a
battery in it. You could cause damage to the electrical
system.
If the engine does turn over, but never starts up, there
is not a problem with the starting system, there is a
problem somewhere else in the engine. STOP crank­
ing the engine until the other problem has been
identified and corrected.
Maintenance and care
A minimal amount of care can keep your battery
charger working properly for years.
1. Clean the clamps each time you are finbhed
charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have
come in contact with the clamps to prevent
corrosion.
2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing
the charger. This will help prevent accidental
damage to the cords and charger.
3. Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with
a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help
prevent corrosion.
