D. BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Connect and disconnect the DC output plug (or
clips) only when the AC cord is disconnected from
the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each
other.
1. When hooking up the charger, attach the plug into
the twist-lock receptacle on the side of the battery box
or connect the clips directly to the battery on units that
are not pre-wired with a plug on the side of the battery
box.
FOR UNITS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TWIST-
LOCK, PREWIRED CHARGER PLUG FOLLOW
THESE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGA-
TIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
2. Determine which post of battery is grounded (con-
nected) to the chassis of the machine. Connect the
NEGATIVE (Black) clip from the battery charger to
the machine chassis as far away from the battery as
possible.
3. The POSITIVE (red or white) clip from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the bat-
tery.
4. When making each connection, twist or rock clip back
and forth several times to make a good connection and
to reduce the risk of a clip slipping off and creating a
spark. Do not twist or rock clip on the battery after the
second clip connection is made.
5. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect AC cord
from the electrical outlet before removing any clips from
battery or chassis.
