screw in the center of the outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or
lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that
will better secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and enable
grounding the connection to the grounded GFCI protected outlet.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Make sure there is someone close enough or within the range of your voice to
come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of soap, water and baking soda nearby in case the battery acid
comes in contact with your skin, clothes or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection, hand and clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near a battery.
If the battery acid contacts skin or clothing, rinse immediately with plenty of
soap and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 15 minutes and seek for medical assistance.
If electrolyte is taken internally, drink large quantities of water or milk. DO NOT
induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention.
NEVER smoke, strike a match or cause a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit a battery or other electrical hardware which may
result in an explosion or fire.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,watches, and
jewelry before working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit with
current high enough to weld a ring or any other metal,causing serious burns.
Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a start-motor application.
Do not use the battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to
persons and damage to the property.

Installation
When connecting each jacketed battery charger cable, make sure it is connected
to only
one 12 VDC
battery
and observe the polarity and color of all connections:
• Red Wire to the “+” (Positive) Battery connection
• Black Wire to the “-” (Negative) Battery connection
The black wire can never be connected to a terminal with red wires and vice
versa.
Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO
THE SAME 12VDC battery.
