Charge Pro™ Portable Chargers Instructions
Follow these steps when battery is outside vehicle. A spark near the
battery may cause battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near
battery:
A) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
B) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of
battery.
C) Do not face battery when making final connection.
D) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of
connecting procedure (disconnect AC power, then disconnect charger clips).
E) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it
on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
B) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury
to persons.
C) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
D) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If
negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (E). If positive
post is grounded to the chassis, see (F).
E) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery
charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from
battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
F) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery
charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
G) When disconnecting charger disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle
chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
Operation
A) Avoid operation under adverse ambient conditions under all circumstances.
Adverse ambient conditions include: ambient temperatures above 104° F (40
°C), flammable gases, solvents, vapors, dust, and relative humidity above
80%.
B) Do not use the battery charger inside a vehicle. The battery charger must not
be used in the vicinity of flammable substances or gases.
