BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery terminals. POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Attach at least a 60 cm 6-gauge (AWG) insulated bat-
tery cable to a Negative (NEG, N, -) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from
battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making the final connection.
f) Connect charger AC supply cord to electric outlet.
g) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence of connecting procedure and break first con-
nection while as far away from battery as practical.
h) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment spe-
cially designed for marine use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION!
• Charge no other batteries than specified in TECHNICAL
INFORMATION.
• Check the charger cables prior to use. Ensure that no
cracks have occurred in the cables or in the bend protec-
tion. A charger with damaged cables must be returned to
the retailer.
• Ensure that the cabling does not jam or comes into contact
with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when
charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails dur-
ing charging is normally taken care of by the chargers
advanced control, but some rare errors in the battery could
still exist. Don't leave any battery during charging unat-
tended for a longer period of time.
• If power consumers like fitted alarms and navigation com-
puters are connected to the battery, the charging process
takes longer and may drain the battery.
