A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid
that may have come in contact with the
clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish
shiny and help prevent corrosion.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
TROUBLESHOOTING AND ERROR CODES
DESCRIPTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
AC outlet is dead.
Poor electrical connection.
Battery is defective.
The charger is plugged into an
AC outlet.
Drawing more than 200 amps.
Failure to wait 3 minutes (180
seconds) between cranks.
The charger may be
overheated.
Battery may be severely
discharged.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly when
storing the charger. This will help prevent
accidental damage to the cords and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps on the handle, clipped
together, on or around metal, or clipped to
the cables.
REASON/SOLUTION
The battery could be bad. Have it checked or replaced.
The battery could not be desulfated; have it checked or
replaced.
May be caused by trying to charge a large battery or bank of
batteries on too low of a current setting. Try again with a higher
current setting or have the battery checked or replaced.
The battery is connected backwards. Unplug the charger and
reverse the connections to the battery.
The battery won't hold a charge. May be caused by a drain on
the battery or the battery could be bad. Make sure there are
no loads on the battery. If there are remove them. If there are
none, have the battery checked or replaced.
The charger automatically shuts the current off if it detects
the battery may be getting too hot. Have the battery
checked or replaced.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and extension
cord for loose fitting plug.
Have the battery checked.
No problem; this is normal.
Crank time varies with the amount
of current drawn. If cranking
draws more than 200 amps, crank
time may be less than 5 seconds.
When the Engine Start LED
blinks, wait 3 minutes of rest
time before the next crank.
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.
On a severely discharged battery,
use the Boost rate for 10 to 15
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
