WARNING
WARNING
6.1 Position the 220-240V~ and 12V
and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the charging
process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery connectors or cut
the insulation of the cables.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
6.3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
6.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. The battery
terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is
to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. See steps 6.5 and 6.6.
The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains. The connection to the
supply mains is to be in accordance with the national wiring rules.
6.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) connector from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) connector to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the connector to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) connector from the
battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) connector to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
Do not connect the connector to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.7 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
6.8 After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the
chassis connection and then the battery connection.
6.9 See Operating Instructions for length of charge information.

WARNING
ACID.
4.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as
the 12V
4.2 Never place the charger directly above the battery
