Check for an open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying the AC outlet.
Check power cord and extension
cord for loose fitting plug.
Check for poor connection at
battery and frame.
Wait 3 minutes of rest time
before the next crank.
On a severely discharged
battery, charge for 10 to
15 minutes at the LARGE
BATTERY rate, to help assist
in cranking.
Crank time varies with the
amount of current drawn. If
cranking draws more than the
Engine Start rate, crank time
may be less than 3 seconds.
The thermal protector may have
