7.  FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE 

BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY 

EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

7.1 

Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE 

(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger 

diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.

7.2 

Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge 

(AWG) insulated battery cable to 

NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.

7.3 

Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to 

POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.

7.4 

Position yourself and free end of cable as 

far away from battery as possible – then 

connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip 

to free end of cable.

7.5 

Do not face battery when making final 

connection.

7.6 

When disconnecting charger, always do 

so in reverse sequence of connecting 

procedure and break first connection 

while as far away from battery as 

practical.

7.7 

A marine (boat) battery must be removed 

and charged on shore. To charge it on 

board requires equipment specially 

designed for marine use. 

8.  GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS 

8.1 

This battery charger is for use on a nominal 

120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug. 

The charger must be grounded, to reduce 

the risk of electric shock. The plug must 

be plugged into an outlet that is properly 

installed and grounded in accordance with 

all local codes and ordinances. The plug 

pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not 

use with an ungrounded system.

8.2  DANGER:

 Never alter the AC cord or 

plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, 

have a proper grounded outlet installed 

by a qualified electrician. An improper 

connection can result in a risk of an 

electric shock or electrocution. 

NOTE:

 Pursuant to Canadian 

Regulations, use of an adapter plug 

is not allowed in Canada. Use of an 

adapter plug in the United States is not 

recommended and should not be used.

8.3  USING AN EXTENSION CORD

The use of an extension cord is not 

recommended. If you must use an 

extension cord, follow these guidelines:

• Pins on plug of extension cord must be 

the same number, size, and shape as 

those of plug on charger.

• Ensure that the extension cord is 

properly wired and in good electrical 

condition.

• Wire size must be large enough for 

the AC ampere rating of charger, as 

specified:

Length of cord (feet)

25

50

100 150

AWG* size of cord

18

16

12

10

*AWG-American Wire Gauge
