CHARGER LOCATION
4.1
Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
4.2
Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from bat-
tery will corrode and damage charger.
4.3
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte spe-
cific gravity or filling battery.
4.4
Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any
way.
4.5
Do not set a battery on top of charger.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger
switches to "off" position and removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never
allow clips to touch each other.
5.2
Attach clips to battery and chassis, as indicated in 6.5, 6.6, and 7.2
through 7.4.
6.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
6.1
Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or
moving engine part.
6.2
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause
injury to persons.
6.3
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
6.4
Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (6.5). If
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (6.6).
6.5
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. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.6
For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from bat-
tery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Con-
nect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from
battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
