4. Follow these steps when connecting
the Reanimator 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 clamps 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
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 4.5. If the positive
post is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.6.
4.5
For a negative-grounded vehicle, con-
nect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the
Reanimator to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) un-
grounded post of the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the bat-
tery. Do not connect the clamp to the carbu-
retor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
4.6
For a positive-grounded vehicle, con-
nect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the
Reanimator to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) un-
grounded post of the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) 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 en-
gine block.
4.7
When disconnecting the Reanimator,
remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis,
then remove the clamp from the battery ter-
minal, in that order.
