7. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
7.1 Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge
(AWG) insulated battery cable to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
7.3 Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
7.4 Position yourself and free end of cable as
far away from battery as possible – then

8. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

8.1 This battery charger is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. The plug
pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do
not use with an ungrounded system.
8.2 DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or
plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper grounded outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. An improper
connection can result in a risk of an
electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian
Regulations, use of an adapter plug
is not allowed in Canada. Use of an
adapter plug in the United States is not
recommended and should not be used.
9. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
