3. Check polarity of battery posts. Positive (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has larger diameter than Negative (NEG, N, –)
post. Determine which battery post is grounded (connected) to
the chassis. If Negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most
vehicles), see step a. If Positive post is grounded to the chassis,
see step b.
a) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect Positive (RED) lug
from charger to Positive (POS, P, +) ungrounded battery post.
Connect Negative (BLACK) lug to vehicle chassis or engine
block, away from battery. Do not connect lug to carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts. Make the connection to
a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.

b) If you have a positive ground system in your vehicle, you
must mark the two dc output cable conductors with the
color currently on each lug and remove the attached battery
lugs. Switch the lugs with new lugs of the same size but on
opposite conductors. Put the new, larger lug on the conductor
that is black (must remain identified as black or negative) and
the new smaller lug on the conductor that is red (must remain
identified as red or positive). The larger lug always connects
to the battery and the smaller lug connects to the engine
block or chassis, away from the battery.
For positive-grounded vehicle, connect Negative (BLACK)
clip from charger to Negative (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post
of battery (see MOUNTING CHARGER FOR CONTINUOUS
USE). Connect Positive (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or
engine block away from battery. Do not connect lug to
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet metal body parts. Make the
connection to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or
engine block.
If problems arise while trying to connect the output leads, solicit the aid
of your local auto supply store to find a suitable connection device for
your application.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This charger uses a voltage regulating control circuit that continually
monitors the battery voltage and automatically turns the output on and
off, safeguarding against overcharge. This battery charger is designed
to remain connected to the battery. However, if it becomes necessary
to disconnect the charger, disconnect ac line cord first, remove lug from
vehicle chassis (ground) and then remove the lug from battery terminal.
• To reduce risk of a spark near battery, position ac and dc line cords
to reduce the risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can
cause personal injury.

1. Connect the battery charger ac line cord (through a UL
approved extension cord) to a 120 Volt ac power outlet. Make
sure the extension cord is in good condition and the wire size
is large enough for the for the ac ampere rating of the charger
(see RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG WIRE SIZE FOR
EXTENSION CORDS FOR THIS BATTERY CHARGER).
2. Once the battery charger has been properly connected to the
battery and the ac outlet, the green LED will flash, indicating
thebattery is being charged. Once the battery has reached full
charge, the green LED will light solid, indicating the charger has
entered maintenance mode. The charger will resume charging
if the battery's state of charge declines. Turn off occurs at
approximately 14.1 VDC and turn on occurs at 13.1 VDC.
3. The charger has reverse polarity and output short circuit
protection. If a reverse polarity condition exists, the Red LED
will light solid. If you encountered this situation, disconnect from
AC power and make a proper battery connection. If the charger
identifies a short condition in the battery, the Red LED will flash.
Disconnect the charger from AC power and then disconnect the
battery connections, disconnecting the negative lead first.
CHARGER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A minimum amount of care can keep your battery charger working
properly for years. Just as with any appliance or tool, keep your battery
charger clean and dry. Occasionally cleaning the case and cables with
a dry or slightly damp cloth will prolong the life of your charger.
