FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY HAS BEEN
REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE
WARNING
– A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. To
reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Check polarity of the battery posts. The positive post (marked POS,
P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the negative battery post
(marked NEG, N, –).
2. Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) AWG #6 insulated battery cable
to the negative battery post (marked NEG, N, –).
3. Connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive battery post (red
or marked POS, P, +).
4. Stand as far back from the battery as possible, and do not face
the battery when making final connection.
5. Carefully connect the negative (black) clamp to the free end of the
battery cable connected to the negative terminal.
6. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence
of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far
away from battery as practical.
NOTE:
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on
shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specifically designed
for marine use. This unit is NOT designed for such use.
