6. 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 gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
7. Set Battery Type switch according to battery type:
• Set to Regular for flooded and maintenance-free batteries.
• Set to AGM for Absorbed Glass Mat batteries.
8. Set Setting switch to desired charge amperage.
9. After switches are set, plug in charger.
10. Monitor the charging process. The Charge Complete indicator will light up and blink when the battery is fully charged.
11. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from
battery terminal.
12. After use clean, then store the charger indoors out of children’s reach.
Note:
If the charger cycles between maximum charge level and a lower charge level when first connected, then the
battery may be fully charged or nearly fully charged. Further charging may not be needed. If charging is attempted,
charge at a lower rate and carefully monitor charge level to avoid battery damage.
WARNING! TO PREVENT EXPLOSION: DO NOT USE WITH GEL BATTERIES.
Charging Battery Outside Vehicle

NOTICE: If the Reverse Connection indicator lights, the cables are connected improperly. Immediately
disconnect the cables and connect them properly to prevent damage to the battery.
WARNING! TO PREVENT EXPLOSION: DO NOT USE WITH GEL BATTERIES.
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
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.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. Set Battery Type switch according to battery type:
• Set to Regular for flooded and maintenance-free batteries.
• Set to AGM for Absorbed Glass Mat batteries.

before attempting to turn on engine.
1. Unplug the Charger AC power cord from the AC outlet.
2. 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 gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
