A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
The Ranger cannot produce enough current to crank most
engines. If the engine does not crank, charge the battery for at
least 10 minutes before attempting jump assist again. If after
two attempts of charging/jump assist the engine does not start,
the batteries may require replacement.
Jump assist requires the vehicle having a battery. Do not attempt
to jump assist a vehicle without a battery or by connecting the
jumper cables directly to the starter. Damage to the vehicle may
occur.
NOTE:
• When using jump assist, the air compressor will be
turned off.
• Welding may not be performed while using battery
charge or jump assist
• Auxiliary power may not be used while use battery
charge or jump assist
