near battery, follow these steps when battery is installed in vehicle. WARNING: A spark near battery may cause battery explosion.
1.
Position AC power cord and DC charging cords to reduce
risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts.
2.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that
can cause injury.
3.
Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked
by each post: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -). NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the negative post.
4.
Determine which post of battery is ground (connected) to
chassis.
NOTE: The negative post is normally grounded.
NEGATIVE GROUNDED POST
5A. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED)
clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine
block.
POSITIVE GROUNDED POST

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING BATTERY OUT OF VEHICLE
When charging battery out of vehicle, take care to determine the battery type. To reduce risk of a spark near battery, follow these steps
when battery is outside vehicle. WARNING: A spark near the battery may cause battery explosion. WARNING: When removing battery
from vehicle or boat, disconnect grounded pole first. When disconnecting, make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause an arc.
(NOTE: A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge on board requires special equipment designed for
marine use.) WARNING: When reinstalling battery, attach the ground post first.
1.
Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked
by each post: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -). NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the negative post.
2.
Attach a 24-inch long (or longer) 6-gauge (AWG) insulated
battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
(The 24" lead is not supplied. You may purchase at most
automotive stores.)
The 24' lead provides a safer connection condition. Sparking
or arcing could occur when connecting the charger clip to
the lead.
3.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) post battery. Rock clip back and forth to make good
connection.
4.
Position yourself and free end of 24 inch cable as far away
from battery as possible. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to free end of cable.
WARNING: Do not face battery when making final
connection. Rock clip back and forth to make a good
connection.

metal body parts. NOTE: Attach clips to battery post and twist
or rock back and forth several times to make a good connec-
tion. This tends to keep clips from slipping off terminals and
helps to reduce risk of sparking.
