SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to "off" position and removing ac cord from
electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door, or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys. and other parts
that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected)
to the chasis. If negative post is grounded to chasis (as in
most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the
chasis, 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 clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine
block. (Refer to Figure 1).
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 carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or
engine block. (Refer to Figure 2).
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
