What to do if Schumacher FARM & RANCH FR01336 Battery Charger engine start does not work?
If the engine start function on your Schumacher Battery Charger isn't working, it could be due to several reasons: You might be drawing more current than the Engine Start rate allows, you may not be waiting the required 3 minutes (180 seconds) between cranking attempts, the charger might be overheated, or the battery could be severely discharged. If cranking draws more than the Engine Start rate, crank time may be less than 5 seconds. When the Engine Start LED blinks, wait 3 minutes of rest time before the next crank. Make sure the charger vents are not blocked. Wait and try again. For a severely discharged battery, use the 50A Boost rate for 10 to 15 minutes to help assist in cranking.
