5. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to
the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most
vehicles), see 6. If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see 7.
6. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the positive (red) clamp
from the battery charger to the positive (POS, P, +) ungrounded
post of battery. Connect the negative (black) clamp to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
7. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the negative (black) clamp
from the battery charger to the negative (NEG, N, –) ungrounded
post of battery. Connect positive (red) clamp 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 gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
8. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
9. When disconnecting charger, unplug the AC Power Cord, remove
the clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from
the battery terminal.
Through Bank 2 Using the Clamp Cable Set with O-ring
Connectors (sold separately):
The terminal posts (connections) for Bank 2 are located on the front
of the battery charger. Refer to the Fig. 1.
WARNING – To prevent risk of injury and explosion, only connect
manufacturer-supplied clamp cable sets.
1. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
2. Position AC and clamp cords away from hood, door, or moving
engine part.
3. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can
cause injury to persons.
4. Turn the red plastic cap on the battery charger's Bank 2 positive
(+) terminal post (counterclockwise) and remove. Attach the O-ring
DXAEC80_DXAEC80CA_ManualENFRSP_082616.indd 11
at the end of the red clamp cable onto the battery charger's Bank
2 positive (+) terminal post. Replace the cap and turn clockwise
to secure. Do not over-tighten.
5. Turn the black plastic cap on the battery charger's Bank 2 negative
(–) terminal post (counterclockwise) and remove. Attach the O-ring
at the end of the black clamp cable onto the battery charger's Bank
2 negative (–) terminal post. Replace the cap and turn clockwise
to secure. Do not over-tighten.
6. Check the polarity of battery posts. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has larger diameter than the negative (NEG, N, –) post.
7. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the
chassis. If negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see 8. If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see 9.
8. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the positive (red) clamp
from the clamp cable set to the positive (POS, P, +) ungrounded
post of the battery. Connect the negative (black) clamp from the
same clamp cable set(s) to vehicle chassis or engine block away
from battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy gauge metal part of
the frame or engine block.
9. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect negative (black) clamp
from the clamp cable set to negative (NEG, N, –) ungrounded
post of battery. Connect the positive (red) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip
to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet metal body parts. Connect to
a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
10. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
11. When disconnecting charger, unplug the AC Power Cord, remove
the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp
from the battery terminal.
