IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door, or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts
that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded
to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is
grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) 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 gage metal part of
the frame or engine block.
f) 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 gage metal part of
the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off,
disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clip from battery terminal.
h) See operating instructions for length of charge
information.
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE
CHARGER.
