18. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEG-
ATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
c. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
d. Position yourself and the free end of the cable as far away from the battery as possible, then connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of cable.
e. Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
f.
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure, and break the
first connection while standing as far away from the battery as practical.
g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
19. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger
is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE
(A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
DANGER. Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is
grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with
a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and make ground connection
to grounded outlet.
NOTICE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT
AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
