Using

the engine

start

feature

Your battery charger can be used to jump start your

car if the battery is low. Follow these instructions on

how to use the ENGINE START feature.

1. Connect the charger to the battery and vehicle as

instructed in the "Charging your battery" section on

page 7.

2. Set the right-hand SELECTOR SWITCH to ENGINE

START.

3. Crank the engine for no more than 5 seconds.

If it does not start, wait st least 4 minutes before

cranking again. In extreme cold or if the battery is

severely discharged, charge the battery for about 5

minutes before cranking the engine.

4. After the engine starts, unplug the charger power

cord from the AC outlet. Then disconnect the

charger from the battery.

IMPORTANT:

Do not try to start the engine without a

battery in it. You could cause damage to the electrical

system.

If the engine does turn over, but never starts up, 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.

Maintenance

and care

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery

charger working properly for years.

1. 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.

2. Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing

the charger. This will help prevent accidental

damage to the cords and charger.

3. Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with

a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help

prevent corrosion.
