the charger is on, but is not
charging.

REASON/SOLUTION
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.
Wait 4 minutes of rest time
before the next crank.
Check for poor connection at
battery and frame.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose fitting
plug.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
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, charge for 10 to 15
minutes in the 55 A charge rate
to help assist in cranking.
Check for open fuse or circuit
breaker supplying AC outlet.
Check power cord and
extension cord for loose fitting
plug.
Turn function switch on.
Check for poor connection at
battery and frame. Make sure
connecting points are clean.
Rock clips back and forth for a
better connection.
No problem, this is a normal
condition.
