The battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from
operating if the battery has been inversely connected and will indicate the inverse
connection by illuminating the "INVERSE POLARITY" LED (light emitting diode), situated on
the lower left-hand side of the LED indicator information panel. If this LED is indicating,
disconnect the battery clips in reverse order to the connecting instructions above, then
reconnect correctly. When connections to the battery have been made, connect to AC
mains power conforming the input voltage given on the label attached to the charger.
Always disconnect following the reverse sequence of the connection procedure, breaking
the first connection while facing away & at arm's length from the battery. NOTE: Do not
allow battery clips to touch one another.

and DC cords away from the hood, doors or moving engine parts that can pinch or damage
the cords. Before connecting battery charger to battery, establish if the POSITIVE (POS, P,
RED,+) terminal, normally the larger post on the battery, is grounded or if the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) terminal is grounded to the vehicle chassis. (in most vehicles the NEGATIVE
terminal is grounded). It is advisable to remove the grounded terminal from battery before
charging.
