4.2
Never place the solar panel directly above the battery being charged or maintained;
gases from the battery will corrode and damage the solar panel.
4.3
Do not set the battery on top of the solar panel.
4.4
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the solar panel when reading the electrolyte
specific gravity or filling the battery.
4.5
Do not operate the solar panel in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in any way.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1
Never allow the clips to touch each other.
5.2
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in sections 6 and 7.
6.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE
close the hood during the maintaining or charging process, ensure that the hood does
not touch the metal part of the battery clips 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. If the
negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
6.5
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the solar panel
to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clip 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) clip from the solar
panel to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do
not connect the clip 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
Using the quick-disconnect connector, plug the clips into the solar panel.
6.8
When disconnecting the solar panel, unplug the clips from the solar panel, remove the
clip from the vehicle chassis, then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
7.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE
7.2
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) (13 mm
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
7.3
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) solar panel clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of
the battery.
7.4
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible – then connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) solar panel clip to the free end of the cable.
7.5
Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
7.6
Using the quick-connect connector, plug the clips into the solar panel.

risk of damage by the hood, door and moving
or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to
