12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Do not start the vehicle with the charger connected to
the AC outlet, or it may damage the charger and your vehicle.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. Current
will not be supplied to the ring terminals until a battery is properly
connected. The ring terminals will not spark if touched together.

For a negative-ground vehicle (as in most vehicles), connect the char-
ger’s POSITIVE (RED) ring terminal to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)battery
post. Next, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK) ring terminal to
the vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
7.
For a positive-ground vehicle, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE
(BLACK) ring terminal to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post. Next,

When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC
power, remove the ring terminal from the vehicle’s chassis, and then
