Maintenance And Care - Motomaster ELIMINATOR 11-1586-4 Owner's Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING/FAILURE CODES (cont'd)
Before Returning for Repairs
• When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal
charge. Double check all connections, the AC outlet for a full 120 V, the charger clips for correct
polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and from the clips to the
battery system. The clips must be clean.
• When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulphated, it will not draw the full rated amperes
from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it
than it can effectively use in recharging.
• When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the complete manual and call the
customer service number for information. This will usually eliminate the need for return.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery charger.
• Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery clips, cords and
the charger case.
• Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition (for
example, the plastic boots on the battery clips).
• Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
• All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
