A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
b) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 18-gauge (AWG) insulated battery
cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (
RED
) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as
possible – then connect NEGATIVE (
) charger clip to free end
of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of
connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away
from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To
charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine
use.
