MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE

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

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.
