CHARGER LOCATION
-
Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage the charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger.
Do not operate charger in a closed-in area, or in any way restrict ventilation.
Do not set a battery on top of charger.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
-
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing AC cord from electric
outlet.
Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a
good connection. This tends to keep the clips from slipping off terminals and helps to
reduce risk of sparking.

NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR BATTERY:
Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine
part.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post
is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see item "e". If positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see item "f".
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.
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.
When disconnecting the charger, disconnect AC cord, remove the clip from vehicle
chassis, and then remove the clip from battery terminal.
