f) For Positive grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from bat-
tery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
POSITIVE (RED) 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.
