DANGER - Never change the supplied mains cable or its plug - if it does not fit the socket,
have a proper socket installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection may cre-
ate the risk of electric shock.
Arrange AC and DC cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged by bonnets,
doors or moving parts of engines
Keep clear of fan blades, belts, rollers and other parts that pose a risk of personal in-
jury
Check the polarity of the battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery pole
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) pole
Determine which battery pole is connected to the chassis (earthed). If the negative
pole is connected to the chassis (as on most vehicles), go to point 5. If the positive
pole is connected to the chassis, go to point 6
On a negatively earthed vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) charging terminal to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) unearthed pole of the battery. Clip the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charging terminal to the chassis or engine block far away from the battery. Do not at-
tach the terminal to the carburettor, fuel pipes or body panels, but rather to a solid met-
al part of the chassis or engine block
On a positively earthed vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charging terminal to
the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) unearthed pole of the battery. Clip the POSITIVE (RED)
charging terminal to the chassis or engine block far away from the battery. Do not at-
tach the terminal to the carburettor, fuel pipes or body panels, but rather to a solid met-
al part of the chassis or engine block
When disconnecting the charger, switch the controls to the "Off" position, unplug the
mains cable, remove the charging terminal from the chassis and then remove the
charging terminal from the battery
For information about the required charging period, refer to the operating instructions
Check the polarity of the battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery pole
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) pole
Connect an insulated 6-gauge (AWG) battery cable, not less than 24 inches (609.5
mm) long, to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery pole
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charging terminal to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) pole of
the battery
Move yourself and the free end of the cable as far away as possible from the battery,
then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charging terminal to the free end of the cable
Do not face the battery when making the last connection
Disconnect the charger in reverse order to the connection process, making the first
disconnection as far away as possible from the battery
A (marine) boat battery must be taken out and charged on dry land. Charging the bat-
tery on board requires special equipment designed for use at sea
Connect the plug to a socket that has been installed and earthed in accordance with
all local rules and regulations
