STEPS WHEN A BATTERY IS INSTALLED INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY MAY BE DANGEROUS. HOW TO REDUCE THIS RISK:
• Ensure that any cables are far from moving parts or pinch points when using the
charger.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that could cause personal
injury.
• Ensure that the polarity of the connections is correct: the POSITIVE (Red, POS., P, +) post
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (Black, NEG., N, -). If you are unsure,
use a voltmeter to check the terminal polarities.
• Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis; For negative-
grounded vehicles, first connect the POSITIVE clamp to the POSITIVE (POS., P, +)
ungrounded terminal of battery. Then connect the NEGATIVE clamp to the vehicle's
chassis or engine block away from the battery.
• Do not connect the charger to any part of the vehicle other than the battery terminals or
negative ground post.
• Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet
• When disconnecting charger, turn the charger off, disconnect the charger from the AC
power, remove the clamp from the chassis, and then remove the clamp connected to the
battery terminal. See operating instructions for duration of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.
WARNING: SPARKS NEAR A BATTERY MAY CAUSE EXPLOSIONS.
• Check the polarity of the battery terminals. (+ / -)
• Connect the Positive clamp to the Positive battery terminal.
• Position yourself as far away from battery as possible and connect the Negative clamp
to the Negative battery terminal.
• Do not face the battery when completing the connections.
• Connect the AC supply cable to the electric socket and turn the charger on.
• When disconnecting the charger, complete the steps in reverse.
