5. After the PS Mode session is complete, press the START/STOP button to return the unit to Standby Mode,
turn off the Master Power Switch and unplug the charger from the AC power source. Then, disconnect the
charger clamp not connected directly to the battery first and DO NOT allow the clamp to touch anything. Then,
disconnect the charger clamp attached to the battery terminal. (See Connecting To Batteries... at the beginning
of this section.)
Engine Starting
This battery charger can provide a high-current output to help start a 12V vehicle with a weak battery. However,
the onboard computer in some vehicles can be damaged when attempting to jump start. ALWAYS READ THE
VEHICLE OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE AUXILIARY STARTING to determine if jump starting 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 the Connecting to a Battery Section of this manual.
2. Charge the battery for 5 to 10 minutes, following all instructions for proper battery charging operation.
3. In order to place the unit into Engine Starting Mode, set the Function selection to ENGINE START.
NOTE: The charger will enter ENGINE START mode and stay in that mode for 30 seconds. If a start attempt is not
made within 30 seconds, the charger will return to Standby Mode.
NOTE: If the FAULT indicator LED lights, disconnect from AC power immediately and determine the cause of the
alarm. A blinking FAULT light indicates reverse polarity connection error, while a solid ERROR light indicates the
detection of a battery fault, such as a shorted connection.
4. 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.
NOTE: The unit features a cool down period after each starting attempt. If a start attempt is unsuccessful in starting
the vehicle, the unit will enter a cool down period and the TIMEOUT LED will blink. This timeout lasts approximately
3 minutes. Once the cool down period has ended, the unit will return to Standby, ready for a new start attempt.
5. After the engine start session is complete, press the START button to return the unit to Standby Mode, turn off
the Master Power Switch and unplug the charger from the AC power source. Then, disconnect the charger clamp
not connected directly to the battery first and DO NOT allow the clamp to touch anything. Then, disconnect the
charger clamp attached to the battery terminal. (See Connecting To Batteries... at the beginning of this section.)
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.
After starting attempt, wait 3 to 4 minutes for the charger to cool. The thermal protector will automatically reset and
allow you to continue.
