1. Arrange the power cord and charging leads carefully
to avoid damage that could be caused by the hood,
door, or moving engine parts.
2. Keep clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other
parts that can cause injury.
3. Check the polarity of the battery posts as indicated
on the battery case: POSITIVE (POS, P, or +) and
NEGATIVE (NEG. N or -). NOTE: The positive post
on top-post batteries is usually larger than the
negative post.
4. Identify which battery post is ground or connected to
the chassis. THE NEGATIVE POST IS NORMALLY
THE ONE THAT IS GROUNDED.
5. To charge a negative grounded post system:
Connect the red (POSITIVE) battery charger clamp
to the ungrounded POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the
battery. Then connect the black (NEGATIVE) clamp
to a heavy, unpainted metal part of the chassis or
engine block, away from the battery. Do not
connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet
metal parts.
To charge a positive grounded post system:
Connect the black (NEGATIVE) battery charger
clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded
post of the battery. Then connect the red
(POSITIVE) clamp to a heavy, unpainted metal part
of the chassis or engine block. Do not connect
clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal parts.
IMPORTANT: Wear safety glasses and face away
from the battery when making connections.
6. Connect the clamp to the battery post and twist or
rock back and forth to make a solid connection.
This will help keep the clamps from slipping off the
posts and causing sparks.
7. Select the charge voltage with the Selector Switch
and plug the power cord into a grounded AC
outlet to begin charging.
