CHARGER LOCATION
4.3 Do not set the battery on top of the charger.
4.4 Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electrolyte specific
gravity or filling the battery.
4.5 Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
5.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the charger switches
to the "off" position and removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the
clips to touch each other.
5.2 Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in sections 6 and 7.
6.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE.
of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
6.2 Lay the AC/DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other moving parts
that can cause injury.
6.3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
6.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the
negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the positive
post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
6.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do
not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a
heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the battery
charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not
connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.7 Connect the charger's AC power cord directly to the electrical outlet. Avoid using an
extension cord when possible.
6.8 When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the AC cord, remove
the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
6.9 See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH
BATTERY ACID.
4.1 Place the charger as far away from the battery
as the DC cables permit.
4.2 Never place the charger directly above the
battery being charged; gases from the battery will
corrode and damage the charger.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
6.1 Keep the hood open. NOTE: If it is necessary
to close the hood during the charging process,
ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part
