6. Connect the negative cable from the negative terminal on
the battery to the neg(–) battery terminal on the Auto
Charge. Use the last terminal on the left (see figure below)
for the negative cable.
You may choose two methods:
a. You can just carefully push the exposed solid tip of
the cable until you feel the clamp catch the tip.
b. You can lift the clamp lever, insert the tip of the cable,
and push the lever down and secure the tip with the
clamp.

7. Connect the positive cable to the correct pos(+) battery
terminal on the Auto Charge. For BAT1 use the second
terminal on the left.
8. If there are additional battery banks to connect, repeat the
preceding step for each additional battery bank. BAT2 goes
to next terminal on the right of BAT1, BAT3 goes to the
terminal on the right of BAT2.

9. Connect the free end of each positive cable assembly (that
is, from the DC terminal of the 80A DC Circuit Breaker (PN:
090-0080-0) or the DC fused disconnect from the previous
step on page 24) to the correct positive terminal of the
battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your
battery manufacturer.
10. Connect the free end of the negative cable to the correct
negative terminal of the battery, using sufficient torque as
recommended by your battery manufacturer.
NOTE: If you are using more than one battery, you will need
to connect the negative cable from each of the batteries to
the negative ground bar or bus. The negative ground bar or
bus will then have a single negative cable connecting to the
negative charger terminal.
EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE HAZARD
This final connection of the DC battery circuit will likely generate an
arc. Ensure all areas of the system, including batteries and engine
compartments, are well ventilated prior to making this connection.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
