Charging your battery
outside the vehicle:

making sure to disconnect grounded
terminal first with all power turned off
to the vehicle.
2. Check the polarity of the battery posts
as indicated on the battery case:
NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM
Figure A
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -). NOTE: On top-post
batteries, the positive battery terminal
usually has a larger diameter than the
negative one.
3. Connect the red (POSITIVE) charger
clamp to the POSITIVE post of the
battery. Be sure to rock the clip back
and forth to make a solid connection.
4. Attach a 6-gauge (AWG) or a 4-gauge
(SAE) insulated battery cable of at
least 24-inches long to the NEGATIVE
battery post. This cable will provide a
safer connection if arcing and sparking
occur, it will be at a distance from the
battery. NOTE: The battery cable is
not provided with the charger, but may
be purchased at most automotive
stores.
5. Take the other end of the 6-gauge
(AWG) or a 4-gauge (SAE) insulated
24-inch cable and, standing as far
away from the battery as possible,
connect the black (NEGATIVE) lead to
the free end of the cable. Rock the
clamp to make a solid connection.
IMPORTANT: Wear safety glasses
and face away from the battery while
making the final connection.
