ENGINE STARTING NOTES
During the starting sequence listed above,
the charger is set to one of three states:
• Wait for cranking – The charger waits
until the engine is actually being cranked
before delivering the amps for engine
start and will reset if the engine is not
cranked within 15 minutes. If the charger
resets, it sets itself to the default start up
settings.
• Cranking – When cranking is detected,
the charger will automatically deliver up
to its maximum output as required by the
starting system for up to 3 seconds or until
the engine cranking stops.
• Cool Down – After cranking, the charger
enters a mandatory 3 minute (180 second)
cool down state. This is indicated by the
blinking ENGINE START LED. After three
minutes, the % CHARGE/BOOST
LEDs
will light in sequence and the ENGINE
START LED will be lit.
12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
nished charging. Wipe off any battery
uid that may have come in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
nish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps clipped together, on or
around metal, or clipped to the cables.
