Engine Starting

This battery charger can provide a high-current output to help start a vehicle with a weak battery. However, the
onboard computer in some vehicles can be damaged when attempting to jumpstart. ALWAYS READ THE VEHICLE
OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE AUXILIARY STARTING to determine if jumpstarting can do damage to the vehicle.
If not, read and follow these instructions.
CAUTION: Do not try to boost start a vehicle that does not contain a battery or you may damage electrical
systems in the vehicle.
1. Connect the battery charger to the vehicle according to Operating Instructions.
2. Charge the battery for 5 to 10 minutes at the appropriate charge rate for the size of battery.
3. Set the Rate Selector to START and try to start the vehicle. If the vehicle doesn't start after 3 to 4 seconds,
stop and wait 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until engine starts.
CAUTION: Excessive continuous engine cranking can damage vehicle starter motors.
Note: If the engine spins but fails to start after several starting attempts, there is an engine problem not related to
the starting system. Discontinue cranking the engine until the other problem is found and corrected.
This battery charger has an internal thermal protector to prevent overheating and damage to the battery charger.
If, after repeated starting attempts, the ammeter registers zero output, wait 3 to 4 minutes for the charger to cool.
The thermal protector will automatically reset and allow you to continue.
