AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. CHARGEXPRESS PRO should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. CHARGEXPRESS
PRO is equipped 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.
2. DANGER: NEVER ALTER AC CORD OR PLUG PROVIDED-IF IT WILL NOT FIT OUTLET, HAVE
PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER CONNECTION
CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
3. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure that:
a) Pins on extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on
CHARGEXPRESS PRO;
b) Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of CHARGEXPRESS PRO.
CHARGEXPRESS PRO CONNECTION - BATTERY IN VEHICLE
1. Before working on vehicle, firmly apply emergency brake and place gearshift to NEUTRAL – shift an
automatic transmission to P.
2. Locate CHARGEXPRESS PRO as far away from battery as CHARGEXPRESS PRO cords permit
and position AC and DC cords to avoid stepping on or tripping over them and to prevent damage by
hood, doors, or moving engine parts.
3. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that can cause physical injury.
4. Turn OFF all vehicle loads, including door lights, and correct any defects in car’s electrical system
that may have caused low battery.
5. Check polarity of battery posts. The POSITIVE (+) post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (–) post.
6. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis. If negative post is grounded
see step 7. If positive post is grounded see step 8.
7. For negative-grounded vehicle, first connect POSITIVE (red) clamp from CHARGEXPRESS PRO to
POSITIVE (+) ungrounded post of battery. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to NEGATIVE
(–) post of battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of frame or engine block. When disconnecting charger, turn
switches OFF, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp
from battery terminal.
8. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from charger to NEGATIVE
ungrounded post of battery. Then connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of frame or engine block. When disconnecting charger, turn
switches OFF, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp
from battery terminal.
