DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after pressing the
START/STOP (
from the electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.
5.2
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.6
and 7.2 through 7.4.
6. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE.
6.1 Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,
door and moving or hot engine parts.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause
injury.
6.3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
6.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chas-
sis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles),
see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
6.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from
the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
6.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip
from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
6.7 When disconnecting the charger, press the START/STOP (
to turn the output off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the
vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
6.8 See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.
