4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY

WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1 Attach the output cables to the battery and
chassis as indicated below. Never allow
the output clamps to touch each other.
4.2 Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of
damage by the hood, door and moving or
hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary
to close the hood during the jump starting
process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or
cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys
and other parts that can cause injury.
4.4 Check the polarity of the battery posts.

graphite, copper powder or soda (sodium
carbonate) to extinguish the fire. Once
the fire is extinguished, douse the
product with water, an aqueous-based
extinguishing agent, or other nonalcoholic
liquids to cool the product and prevent the
battery from re-igniting. NEVER attempt
to pick up or move a hot, smoking, or
burning product, as you may be injured.
and water to neutralize the battery acid and
help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not
touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

usually has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4.5 Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If the negative post is grounded to the
chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
4.6. If the positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see step 4.7.
4.6 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the
Power Pack to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away from
the battery. Do not connect the clamp to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
