WARNING - FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY,
DAMAGE OR EXPLOSION, ALWAYS SHIELD EYES WITH SAFETY GLASSES.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY:
a. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Connect the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp or ring terminal to the POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) post of battery.
c. Connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) cable clamp or ring terminal to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post of battery.
d. Do not face battery directly when making final connection.
e. Plug charger into a properly grounded GFCI protected outlet.
f. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break first connection while standing as far away from the battery as practical.
g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
h. Replace dust cap or remove cable clamps when done charging.

WARNING - FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY,
DAMAGE OR EXPLOSION, ALWAYS SHIELD EYES WITH SAFETY GLASSES.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY:
a. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine parts.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
d. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying
which battery post NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) OR POSITIVE (POS, P, +) is connected to the chassis.
e. For a negative grounded vehicle: connect the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +) cable clamp or ring
terminal first to the positive post of the battery, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
cable clamp or ring terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the black negative
(NEG, N, -) cable clamp to metal fuel lines or anywhere in proximity of the carburetor or the
battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
f. For a positive grounded vehicle: connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) cable clamp or ring
terminal first to the negative post of the battery, then connect the RED POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
cable clamp or ring terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the red positive
(POS, P, +) cable clamp to metal fuel lines or anywhere in proximity of the carburetor or the
battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g. Plug charger into a properly grounded GFCI protected outlet.
h. When charging is completed, always disconnect AC power, remove clip from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clip from battery terminal.
i. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
