Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using your new battery charger.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. Remove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined area before charging.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Clean battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive material in eyes.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from
cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's charging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended
rates of charge.
6. Determine voltage of battery to be charged by referring to the vehicle manual.
Charger Location
• IMPORTANT: When not suspended from the Hanging Hook for hands-free use, only use the unit on a flat, level surface to avoid
movement during operation.
• Be sure area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged.
• Locate charger as far away from battery as cables permit.
• Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
• Never allow battery acid to drip on charger.
• Never operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• Marine batteries must be removed and charged on shore.
• Do not set a battery on top of charger.
Connection Precautions
• Connect and disconnect output clamps or vehicle accessory plug only after removing AC cord from electric outlet.
• Never allow clamps or Terminal Rings to touch each other.
• Do not allow tools or other metal objects to come into contact with the vehicle frame when connecting battery cables or other electrical
wiring. Do not allow a positive wire to touch the vehicle frame, engine or any other metal component.
• Attach clamps to battery and chassis as indicated in "Battery Installed in Vehicle" steps 5 and 6, or in "Battery Outside of Vehicle" steps
2 to 5.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE
WARNING – A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Position AC and clamp cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (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 negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles),
see 5. If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see 6.

5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect 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, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
8. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
9. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE
WARNING – A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. The Positive post (marked POS,P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post
(marked NEG, N, –).
2. Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) AWG #6 insulated battery cable to the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, –).
3. Connect the Positive (RED) battery clamp to the Positive battery post (marked POS, P, + or red).
4. Stand as far back from the battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final connection.
5. Carefully connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected to the negative terminal.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away
from battery as practical.
