DC CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE
(IF WITH CABLE CLAMP)
1. Check the polarity of the battery posts. A POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying which battery post
(NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE) is connected to the chassis.
3. For a negative grounded vehicle: connect the RED POSITIVE cable clamp first to the positive post of the battery,
then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE cable clamp to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the black negative cable clamp
to metal fuel lines or anywhere in proximity of the carburetor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part
of the frame or engine block.
4. For a positive grounded vehicle: connect the BLACK NEGATIVE cable clamp first to the negative post of the battery,
then connect the RED POSITIVE cable clamp to the vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the red positive cable clamp to metal
fuel lines or anywhere in proximity of the carburetor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame
or engine block.
5. Connect the charger’s AC supply cord to the electric outlet.
6. When charging is completed, disconnect from the AC power, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis,
and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
