certain that the battery is capable of
accepting a normal charge. Double check
all connections, the AC outlet for a full
120 volts, the charger clamps for correct
polarity and the quality of the connections
from the cables to the clamps and from
the clamps to the battery system. The
clamps must be clean.

REASON/SOLUTION
REASON/SOLUTION
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 250
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 40A Boost rate for 10 to 15
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
The Boost LED will flash for 30
minutes, then go off, and the
Charging LED will light, indicating
the charger has switched to
Charging mode.
