FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
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.
7.2
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) (13 mm
2
) 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
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
7.7
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.
7.8
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
8.1
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The
plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet).
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can
result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE:
Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in
Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and should
not be used.
8.2
Recommended minimum AWG size for extension cord:

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for
example:
1200 watts/120 volts = 10 amperes

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
