FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY

WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1 Plug the clamps into the unit, and then attach the output cables to
the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output
clamps to touch each other.
4.2 Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,
door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to
close the hood during the jump starting process, ensure that the hood
does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation
of the cables.
4.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
4.4 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE
