F. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to off
position and removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
2. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good
connection. This tends to keep clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of
sparking
G. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
1. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,+) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N. -) post.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected to the chassis). If negative post
is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see No. 5. If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see No. 6.
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to
POSITIVE (POS, P,+) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine
block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N. -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to ve-
hicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the f rame or engine block.
7. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal, in that order.
8. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
H. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,+) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N. -) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N. -) battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P,+) post of battery.
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then con-
nect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
I. AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric
shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt 60 HZ circuit.
J. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
