On-Board Mounting.
Mount the charger near the battery, ensuring the cables and charger are secure and away from any moving parts (eg. fan blades, belts, pulleys). Secure the
provided mounting bracket to the vehicle's chassis using the two included self-tapping screws. For best results, mark the position using the bracket, and pre-drill
two small pilot holes. Once the bracket is secured, use the velcro strap to secure the Genius 2D in place.
Connecting to the Battery.
Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. The positive battery terminal
is typically marked by these letters or symbol (POS, P, +). The negative battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG, N, -). Do not make any
connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
1.) Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2.) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3.) Check polarity of battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery terminal usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
4.) Determine which battery terminal is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative battery terminal is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see Step 5. If
positive battery terminal is grounded to the chassis, see Step 6.
5.) For negative-grounded vehicle only, connect POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P. +) ungrounded
battery terminal. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.) For positive-grounded vehicle only, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded
battery terminal. Connect POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
7.) Connect the battery charger into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
8.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
1.) Check polarity of battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery terminal usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
