CHARGING THE bATTERY

When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise connect
battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity is
correct. Improper polarity can damage the charging
circuit. The AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) positive (+) bat-
tery terminal has a red terminal cover.
If you need to charge the battery with an external
charger, disconnect the negative cable first, then the
positive cable before you attach the charger leads.
after the battery is charged, reconnect the positive bat-
tery cable first and the negative cable last. Failure to
do so can result in damage to the internal charger
components.
Follow the instructions of the battery charger manufac-
turer for proper charger settings and charging time.
