1. Set the charge rate switch and the timer to the OFF position.
2. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery,
following the instructions given in Section 5 (FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE
BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE).
3. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet, and then move the timer switch
from OFF to the 24H position.
4. With the charger plugged in and connected to the battery of the vehicle, set the
charge rate selector switch to the proper engine start position.
5. Crank the engine until it starts or 3.5 seconds pass. If the engine does not start,
set the Charge Rate Selector Switch to the highest charge rate setting and wait 3
minutes before cranking again. This allows the charger and battery to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is under 2 volts, charge the
battery for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.
6. If the engine fails to start, charge the battery for 5 more minutes before attempting to
crank the engine again.
7. After the engine starts, move the charge rate selector switch and timer to the OFF
position and unplug the AC power cord before disconnecting the battery clips from
the vehicle.
8. Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but never starts, there is not a problem with the
starting system; there is a problem somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP cranking the
engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
General Charging Notes
Fan: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for ef cient operation. Keep the
area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to operate ef ciently.
