tHE BAttErY:
1. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for length of charge
information.
2. Arrange the power cord and charging leads carefully in
order to avoid damage that could be caused by the hood,
door or moving engine parts.
3. Keep clear of the fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
parts that can cause injury.
4.
Check the polarity of the battery posts using the
identification marks on the battery case: POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -). NOTE: On top-post
batteries, the positive battery terminal usually has a
larger diameter post than the negative one.
5. Identify which battery post is grounded or connected to
the chassis. The negative post is NORMALLY the one
that is grounded.
6. To charge a negative-grounded system: Connect the red
(POSITIVE) charger clamp to the ungrounded POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) post of the battery. Next, connect the black
(NEGATIVE) clamp to an unpainted, heavy metal part of
the chassis or engine block, away from the battery. Do
not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal
parts.
7. To charge a positive-grounded system: Connect the
black (NEGATIVE) charger clamp to the ungrounded
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of the battery. Then connect
the red (POSITIVE) clamp to an unpainted, heavy
metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the
battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet metal parts.
WArninG:
wear safety goggles and protective gloves,
while making connections.
8. Twist or rock clamps back and forth to make a solid
connection. This will help make better contact and help
keep them from slipping off and causing sparks.
9. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.
10. Adjust settings and charge battery.
11. When you are finished with the charger, turn the
POWER switch to the OFF position and unplug the
charger power cord.
12. Standing away from the battery, remove the charger
clamps in this order: (1) from the chassis connection and,
(2) from the battery post or terminal.
13. Clean and store the battery charger in a dry location.

tHE BAttErY:
1. Make sure all of the accessories and lights are turned
off in the vehicle. Remove the battery from vehicle,
disconnecting the grounded terminal first.
2. Check the polarity of the battery posts as indicated on
the battery case: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -). NOTE: On top-post batteries, the positive
battery terminal usually has a larger diameter post than
the negative one.
3. Connect the red (POSITIVE) charger clamp to the
POSITIVE post of the battery. Be sure to rock the clamp
back and forth to make a solid connection.
4. Attach a six (AWG) or four (SAE) gauge insulated battery
cable of at least 24 inches in length to the NEGATIVE
battery post. This cable will provide a safer connection
because arcing and sparking will occur away from the
battery. (The battery cable is not provided with the
charger, but may be purchased at most automotive
accessory outlets.)
5. Standing as far away from the battery as possible,
connect the black (NEGATIVE) lead of the charger to the
free end of the cable. Rock the clamp to make a solid
connection.
WArninG: User and bystander must wear
safety goggles and protective gloves while
making connections.
6.
Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.
7. Adjust settings and charge battery.
8. When the battery is fully charged, turn the POWER
switch to the OFF position and unplug the charger power
cord.
9. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
order of connecting procedure and break the first
connection while as far away from the battery as
practical.
10. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it onboard requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
11. Clean and store the battery charger in a dry location.
