5 more minutes before attempting to crank the
engine again.
6. After the engine starts, unplug the AC power

NOTE:
If you have charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not use the Engine Start feature, or it could
damage the vehicle's electrical system. Have the battery checked.
If the engine does turn over but never starts, 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.
WARNING!
Using the Engine Start feature WITHOUT a battery installed in the vehicle could cause damage
to the vehicle's electrical system.
ENGINE STARTING NOTES
During the starting sequence listed above, the
charger is set to one of four states:
• Wait for ready – The charger charges the
battery for 2 minutes before the Wait for
Cranking state. While waiting for ready,
the engine can be cranked. For severely
discharged batteries, it is not recommended
to crank during this time.
• Wait for cranking – The charger waits until
the engine is actually being cranked before
delivering the amps for engine start.
• Cranking – When cranking is detected, the
charger will automatically deliver up to its
maximum output as required by the starting
system for up to 5 seconds.
• Cool Down – After repeated cranking during
a 3-minute ready period, the charger enters a
mandatory 3-minute (180-second) cool down
state. After 2 hours of Engine Starting, the
unit will automatically exit from the Engine
Start mode, just as if the Stop button had
been pressed; the Charging LED will not be
lit. During this time, the Engine Start LED will
blink to indicate the Engine Start operation is
temporarily paused.
