clamps will not spark if touched together.
CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE
1. Turn off all the vehicle’s accessories.
2.
Keep the hood open.
3. Clean the battery terminals.
4. Place the charger on a dry, non-flammable surface, or use the convenient
hook attachment to hang the unit safely outside the work area.
5. Lay the AC/DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
6. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in most vehicles), connect the
charger’s POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post. Next, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
