BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS

17.1
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 the
correct voltage, the charger connectors for correct polarity and the quality of
the connections from the cables to the connectors and from the connectors to
the battery system. The connectors must be clean.
17.2 When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, 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.
17.3 When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the
complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will
usually eliminate the need for return.
