CONNECTING YOUR BATTERY (cont'd)

Battery Removed from Vehicle

1
Before connecting and disconnecting the
DC output clamps, remove the AC plug from
the electrical outlet.
NEVER allow the DC output clamps
to touch each other. This may cause
a spark.
To reduce the risk of a spark near battery:
• Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (POS,
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than a negative (NEG, N, –) battery post.
2
Attach at least a 60 cm 6-gauge (AWG)
insulated battery cable to a negative
(NEG, N, –) battery post.
3
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the
battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of the battery.

NOTE: A marine battery installed in a boat must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

outlet. (When disconnecting the charger,
turn the Function Switch to OFF, disconnect

battery terminal.)
