FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
THE VEHICLE.
WARNING
PRODUCING A SPARK, CLOSE TO THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CAUSING SPARKS CLOSE TO THE
BATTERY:
1. Arrange the alternate current and continuous current cables
adequately to reduce the risk damages due to the hood, door
and mobile or hot parts of the motor.
2. Stay away of the fan blades, belts, pulleys or other parts
which could cause injuries.
3. Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P
+) battery post, usually is of a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4. Determine which of the battery posts is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded
to the chassis (as it is in most vehicles, see step (5). If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step (6).
5. In vehicles grounded through a negative post, connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clamp of the charger to the post that is not
grounded POSITIVE (POS, P +) post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or the
motor block that is away from the battery. Do not connect
the clamp in the carburetor, fuel lines or body metal sheets.
Connect into a metal part with tick caliber or a block in the
motor.
6. In vehicles grounded through the positive post, connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp of the battery charger to the post
that is not grounded to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of the
battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or to a block in the motor away from the battery. Do
not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines or non-metallic
bodies. Connect into a metal part with tick caliber or a block
in the motor.
7. When disconnecting the charger, also disconnect the power
cable. Remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis and then,
remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
8. See "Operation instructions" for charging times.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF
THE VEHICLE
WARNING
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION IN THE BATTERY. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
CAUSING SPARKS NEAR THE BATTERY:
1. Check polarity in the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P +)
battery post of the battery, usually has a larger diameter
than the (NEG, N, -) post
2. Set at least one insulated battery cable 61 cm (24") long and
a 6 gauge in accordance to AWG American gauge to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post
3. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp of the battery, to the
POSITIVE (POS, P +) post of the battery.
4. Your body as well as the free end of the cable previously
fastened to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) of the battery, shall be set
as far away as possible from the battery. Then, connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the free end of the cable.
5. Do not stand in front of the battery when making the final
connection

6. When disconnecting the charger, do it in a reverse sequence
from the connection procedure and make the first
connection as far away as possible from the battery.
7. A marine (sea boat) battery shall be removed and charged on
ground. Charging on board, require equipment especially
designed to marine use
GROUND CONNECTIONS AND POWER CORDS
1. This battery charger is designed to be used in a 127 V rated
voltage circuit with a ground plug to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The plug shall be connected to a properly
installed power supply with ground discharge in accordance
with all the ordinances and codes. The plug prongs shall fit to
the socket. Do not use in a system that is not grounded
2. Never modify the power cable furnished. If not
DANGER
fitting into the power supply, call a certified electrician to
install an adequate socket. An inadequate connection is a
risk of electric shock or electrocution
NOTE: Using an adapter plug is not recommended and shall not
be used.
3. USE OF AN EXTENSION CABLE
Using an extension cable is not recommended.
If you must use an extension cable follow these guidelines:
• The pins of the cable plugs shall be the same number, size
and shape of the charger plug.
• Make sure the extension cable is correctly connected and
in good electric conditions.
• The cable length shall have the right gauge according to
the charger current capacity, as specified below:
Length of cables
25 ft
50 ft
100 ft
150 ft
*It is allowed to use it only if the extensions have an
overcurrent protection device.
