Attach the terminals to the battery poles and turn them to and fro several times to
ensure a good connection. This will prevent the terminals from slipping off the battery
poles and reduces the risk of sparks.
Arrange AC and DC cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged by bonnets,
doors or moving parts of engines
Keep clear of fan blades, belts, rollers and other parts that pose a risk of personal
injury
Check the polarity of the battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery pole
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) pole
Determine which battery pole is connected to the chassis (earthed). If the negative
pole is connected to the chassis (as on most vehicles), go to point 5. If the positive
pole is connected to the chassis, go to point 6
On a negatively earthed vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) charging terminal to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) unearthed pole of the battery. Clip the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) charging terminal to the chassis or engine block far away from the battery.
Do not attach the terminal to the carburettor, fuel pipes or body panels, but rather to
a solid metal part of the chassis or engine block
On a positively earthed vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charging terminal
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) unearthed pole of the battery. Clip the POSITIVE
(RED) charging terminal to the chassis or engine block far away from the battery. Do
not attach the terminal to the carburettor, fuel pipes or body panels, but rather to a
solid metal part of the chassis or engine block
When disconnecting the charger, switch the controls to the "Off" position, unplug the
mains cable, remove the charging terminal from the chassis and then remove the
charging terminal from the battery
For information about the required charging period, refer to the operating instructions
Check the polarity of the battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery pole
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) pole
Connect an insulated 6-gauge (AWG) battery cable, not less than 24 inches (609.5
mm) long, to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery pole
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charging terminal to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) pole of
the battery
Move yourself and the free end of the cable as far away as possible from the battery,
then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charging terminal to the free end of the cable
Do not face the battery when making the last connection
Disconnect the charger in reverse order to the connection process, making the first
disconnection as far away as possible from the battery
A (marine) boat battery must be taken out and charged on dry land. Charging the
battery on board requires special equipment designed for use at sea
