Charging a battery when it is installed outside the engine
compartment
To reduce the risk of a spark near the battery:
1) Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
2) Connect the charger to AC power. When the lights on the charger
begin to blink, connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the
positive (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
3) Connect the negative (BLACK) charger clip to the negative (NEG,
N, -) post of the battery.
4) As a precaution, do not face the battery when making the final connection.
5) When disconnecting, disconnect the AC power to the charger first,
then disconnect the negative (BLACK) charger clip while you are as
far away from the battery as possible. Disconnect the positive (RED)
charger clip last.
6) See the operating instructions for the length of charge information.
Grounding and AC Power Cord Connection Instructions
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
The charger is supplied with an electric cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Danger: Never alter the supplied AC cord or plug if it will not fit the
outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in risk of an electric shock.
