USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE
Your battery charger can be used to jump
start your car if the battery is low.
IMPORTANT: Follow the same safety
instructions and precautions as when
charging the battery. Wear complete eye
protection and clothing protection. Charge
your battery in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING: Using the ENGINE START
feature WITHOUT a battery installed
in the vehicle will damage the vehicle’s
electrical system.
NOTE: If the engine turns 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.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or
if the battery is under two volts, rst boost
the battery in 60A Boost mode for at least
several minutes before using the Engine
Start feature.
NOTE: If you have charged the battery
and it still will not start your car, do not
use the Engine Start feature, or it will
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
Have the battery checked.

before attempting to crank the engine
again.
NOTE: After 3 minutes in Engine Start
mode, the charger will allow the charger

code. Do not continue attempting to charge
this battery. Have it checked or replaced.
DESULFATION MODE
The display will show “SUL” when a sulfated
battery is detected, and the charger will go
