FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.7.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The 7.1
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the 7.2
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.7.3
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the NEGATIVE 7.4
(NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible – then connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the cable.
Do not face the battery when making the nal connection. As stated in 7.4, face away 7.5
from the battery when connecting the negative clip to the cable.
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.7.6
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the connecting 7.7
procedure and break the rst connection while as far away from the battery as practical.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard 7.8
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS8.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a 8.1
nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug illustrated. The charger
must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The plug pins must t the receptacle (outlet).
Do not use with an ungrounded system.
8.2 Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not t the outlet,
have a proper grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician. An improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution. NOTE: Pursuant to
Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use of an
adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and should not be used.
