Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any
equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturer's
specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.6
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual and
make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the correct voltage. If the
charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery in the lowest rate first.
3.7
Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.

Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the charger switches
to the "off" position (if applicable) and removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet.
Never allow the clips to touch each other.

necessary to close the hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
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 than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
6.4
Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis (vehicle
frame). 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
frame or engine block at a distance away
from the battery. Do not connect the clip to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part
of the vehicle frame or engine block.

4.1
Locate the charger as far away from the
battery as the DC cables permit.
4.2
Never place the charger directly above
the battery being charged; gases from the
battery will corrode and damage the charger.
