Follow These Steps When Battery Is Outside Vehicle - Schumacher Electric SI-200A Manual Para El Propietario

6.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
6.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) connector
from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) connector to the vehicle chassis
or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the connector to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) connector
from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of
the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) connector to the vehicle chassis
or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the connector to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.7 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
6.8 When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the AC
cord, remove the connector from the vehicle chassis and then remove the
connector from the battery terminal.
6.9 See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

7.1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
7.2
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 7 AWG (10 mm
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
7.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger connector to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of the battery.
7.4 Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible –
then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger connector to the free end of the
cable.
7.5 Do not face the battery when making the final connection. As stated in 7.4,
face away from the battery when connecting the negative connector to the
cable.
7.6 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
7.7 When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the
connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from the
battery as practical.
7.8 A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it
onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
