usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most modern vehicles), see (e). If positive post
is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to
POSITIVE (POS, P, + ) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG. N , -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburettor, fuel lines, or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block. g)
When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal. h) See operating instructions for
length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE
9.
VEHICLE OR HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. SHORT
CIRCUITING THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, + ) and NEGATIVE (NEG,N,
- ) battery posts will be clearly marked. b) Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery. c) Then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to
the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of the battery. d) When disconnecting charger, always do so in
reverse sequence of connecting procedure & break first connection while as far away from
battery as practical.
