FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.

7.1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
7.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post
of the battery.
7.4 Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible –
then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the cable.
7.5
Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
7.6 When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the
connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from the
battery as practical.

onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

8.1 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug

the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The
plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use with
an ungrounded system.
DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet,
have proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
A spark near the battery may
cause a battery explosion. To
reduce the risk of a spark near the
battery:
Risk of electric shock or fire.
