4. Determine which post
of battery is grounded
(connected) to the
chassis. If the negative
post is grounded to the
chassis (as in most
vehicles), see figure 1
and instruction "5a". If
the positive post is
grounded to the
chassis, see figure 2
and instruction "5b".
5a. For NEGATIVE-
GROUNDED vehicle,
connect POSITIVE (Red) clip from the battery charger
to the POSITIVE (POS, P,+) ungrounded post of the
battery.
5b. For POSITIVE-GROUNDED vehicle, connect the
NEGATIVE (Black) clip from the battery charger to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery.
H CHARGING A BATTERY OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
CAUTION: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,+)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N,-) post.
2. Attach a cable (not provided) to the NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) battery post. This cable must be a minimum of
24" long, and of a wire gauge that is no lighter than
the wire gauge of the charger's output cables (battery
cables and booster cables work well).
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) post of battery.
4. Position yourself and the free end of the cable
(installed in step #2) as FAR away from the battery as
possible. FACING AWAY FROM THE BATTERY,
connect the NEGATIVE (Black) charger clip to the
free end of the cable.

4. If engine fails to start, charge battery for another 5-
15 minutes and attempt to start the engine again.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an automatic-reset
circuit breaker to protect the battery charger from
overload conditions. This circuit breaker will trip if you
crank the engine too long at one time. If this happens,
wait six to seven minutes. The breaker will reset
automatically and engine starting or battery charging can
resume.
