FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch long 6-gauge (AWG)
(60cm-long 16mm2) insulated battery cable to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) post of battery.
AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
LENGTH OF CHARGE
The following instruction will allow you to determine how long it will take to bring a specific battery to full charge.
1. Test the battery for state of charger with a hydrometer
or electronic percent-of-charge tester.
2. Determine the size of the battery in Amp-Hour or
Reserve Capacity. If the ratings are not printed on
the battery, contact your local battery dealer for this
information. These are the only ratings that can be
used to determine length to charging time.
3. Use the battery rating, the charge level of the
battery, and amp setting to be used on the charger
in the formula provided below.

4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away
from battery as possible - then connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.

reverse sequence of connecting procedure and
break the first connection while as far away from
battery as practical.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and
charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use.
DANGER. Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if
it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in
a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use
on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
4. If the battery is rated in Reserve Capacity, use the
following formula to convert reverse capacity to
amp-hours.
