Troubleshooting
There are 26 ways to improperly connect two packs to a charger! After the START/STOP button is
pressed, a special battery checking sequence automatically checks every wire before initiating a charge.
It is possible to get an unrelated safety code from a simple wiring issue.
Operating errors appear as messages in the display. To determine the problem, look up the description
below. Correct the error. If errors continue, contact FMA Customer Service.
