and frame.

Wait 3 minutes of rest time before the

On a severely discharged battery,
use the 15<>40A Boost mode for few
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
Crank time varies with the amount of
current drawn. If cranking draws more
than the engine start rate, crank time
may be less than 5 seconds.
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.
