WARNING
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE
A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY:
5.1
Position the AC and 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 charging process, ensure that
the hood does not touch the metal part
of the battery clips or cut the insulation
of the cables.
5.2
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys
and other parts that can cause injury.
5.3
Check the polarity of the battery posts.
The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
5.4
Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis.
5.5
For a negative-grounded vehicle, con-
nect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the
battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) ungrounded post of the battery. Con-
nect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away
from the battery. Do not connect the clip
to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-me-
tal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
