NOTE: ALWAYS disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet before con-

necting (or disconnecting) the charger to (or from) the battery.

CONNECTING THE CHARGER WITH TERMINAL RINGS

The charger’s output leads have crimped, color-coded

ring terminals (Figure 4) (RED-POSITIVE and BLACK-

NEGATIVE). These rings connect directly to the corre-

sponding connectors on the battery posts. 

1. Remove the nuts from the bolts of the battery post’s

connectors. 

2. Position the RED terminal on the bolt of the POSI-

TIVE battery post connector.

3. Position the BLACK terminal on the NEGATIVE post

connector; then replace the nuts. (Figure 3) 

4. If there is any problem connecting the output leads, check with a reputable auto

supply store or contact the Customer Service Department toll free (866) 584-

5504 for assistance in finding an appropriate connection device for your par-

ticular application.
