REASON/SOLUTION
Check for an open fuse or
circuit breaker supplying
the AC outlet.
Check the power cord and
extension cord for a loose
fitting plug.
The battery may not want
to accept a charge due to
a run-down state. Allow
the charging to continue
until the battery has had
a chance to recover
sufficiently enough to take
a charge. If more than 20
minutes, stop charging
and have the battery
checked.
Check for poor connection
to battery and frame.
Make sure connection
points are clean. Rock
clips back and forth for a
better connection.
Have the battery checked.
Unplug the charger
and correct the lead
connections.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
Have charger checked by
a qualified technician.
