an
electrical outlet.
DO NOT CONNECT
THE BATTERY CHARGER
AC POWER
PLUG
TO
THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET UNTIL
ALL
OTHER CONNECTIONS
ARE MADE. Make
sure you have identified 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,-).
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
battery post
usually
has a larger diameter
than NEGATIVE
post .
2.
Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to
NEGATIVE
battery post.
3.
Connect
POSITIVE
(RED) charger
clip
to
POSITIVE
post
of
battery.
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.
6.
When disconnecting charger, always do so
in
reverse sequence
of
connecting
procedure and break first connection while as far away from batiery 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.
FOLLOW
THESE STEPS
WHEN BATTERY
IS INSTALLED
IN
VEHICLE.
A
SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK OF
A
SPARK
NEAR
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 posts.
POSITIVE
battery post
usually
has
larger diameter than
NEGATIVE
post.
4. Determine which post
of
battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If
negative post
is grounded to chassis (as
in
most vehicles), see (5).
If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see (6).
5.
For negative-grounded vehicle, connect
POSITIVE
(RED) clip from battery charger to
POSITIVE
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 gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.
For positive-grounded vehicle,
connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger
to
NEGATIVE
ungrounded post of battery. Connect
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 gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
7.
When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect
ACcord,
remove
clip
from
vehicle
chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
