provided in side panel of charger cabinet. Securely
fasten cable wires to a power input terminal inside
charger. Refer to Grounding section of this manual
for proper connection of grounding conductor.

have to be removed to provide access to terminal
block.)

"OPEN" or "OFF" position, connect power cable
coming from charger, to the switch. Install fuses in

Charging Cable Connectors

If connectors are already attached to charging cables,
make sure that they're attached so that positive charger
polarity will connect to positive battery terminal.
If connectors must be attached to charging cables,
follow instructions supplied with connectors.
CAUTION: Make sure connectors are
securely attached to cables (good
solder joint or well tightened set screws,
whichever is applicable). Be certain
that positive charger cable will connect
to positive battery terminal. If necessary,
trace cables into charger and use
supplied connection diagram to
determine polarity. The use of a DC
voltmeter may show polarity. Improper
connections will "blow" output fuse
and may cause other damage.
