FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE7.
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 POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post 7.1
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 7.2
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post 7.3
of the battery.
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the 7.4
NEGATIVE (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.7.5
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.7.6
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the 7.7
connecting 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 7.8
onboard 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 nominal 120-volt circuit. The charger must 8.1
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.
