STARTING A CAR - BOOST

The battery charger can be used to start a car if the battery is low. Follow all

safety instructions and precautions for charging your battery. Wear eye

protection and protective clothing. The procedures are as follows:

1. Connect the charger to the battery following the instructions given on

page 10.

2. Press the FUNCTION button until the START LED is lit.

3. Turn on the vehicles ignition until it starts or 3 seconds have passed. If the

engine does not start, wait 4 minutes before trying again. This allows the

charger and battery to cool down.

4. If the engine fails to start, use the CHARGE maximum rate (50A) to charge

for some minutes before trying to attempt to start the engine again.

5. After the engine has started, disconnecting the battery charger clamps

from the battery/vehicle.

During the starting sequences listed above, the charger is set to one of three

states:

1. START-READY: The charger waits until the engines ignition is activated

before delivering the amps for the engine start.

2. CRANKING: When the ignition is detected, the charger will automatically

deliver up to its maximum output as required by the starting system for up

to 5 seconds.

3. COOL DOWN: After ignition, the charger enters a mandatory 240 seconds

cool down state (Pressing any button will not work). The digital display

indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 240 and

counts down to 0. After 240 seconds, the digital display will change from

displaying the countdown to displaying START-READY.

WARNING: USING THE ENGINE START FEATURE WITHOUT A BATTERY

INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE WILL DAMAGE THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL
