(POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If the negative
post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see Figure 1 and instruction 5a. If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see
instruction 5b.
5. a) For NEGATIVE GROUNDED vehicle,
connect POSITIVE (Red) clip from the
battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) ungrounded post of the battery.
b) For POSITIVE GROUNDED vehicle,
connect the NEGATIVE (Black) clip from
the battery charger to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of the
battery. (This arrangement is usually found
in pre-1970 foreign vehicles or pre-1970
farm tractors. This is a rare occurrence.)

G
CAUTION: A MARINE (BOAT) BATTERY MUST
BE REMOVED AND CHARGED ON SHORE.
TO CHARGE IT ON BOARD REQUIRES
EQUIPMENT SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR
MARINE USE.
CAUTION: A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
2. Attach at least a 24" long, #6 gauge (AWG)
insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (Neg,
N, –) battery post.
6. Connect the remaining battery charger clip
to the vehicle chassis or engine block, as far
away from the battery as possible. Do not
connect the clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
7. When disconnecting charger, turn charging
sequence OFF by depressing the START/
STOP button, disconnect AC cord, remove
clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip
from battery terminal.
8. Refer to the Operating Instructions for
information on setting selector switches.

3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
4. Position yourself and the free end of the cable
(installed in step #2) as FAR away from the
battery as possible. FACING AWAY FROM
THE BATTERY, connect the NEGATIVE
(Black) charger clip to the free end of the
cable.
5. When charging is complete, turn charging
sequence off by depressing the START/
STOP button. Then disconnect charger,
always in reverse sequence of connecting
procedure and break first connection while
as far away from battery as practical.
