1. CAUTION: Connect and
disconnect DC output clips only
after setting any switches with an
OFF position to off and removing
AC power cord from electric
outlet. Never allow clips to touch
each other.
2. When hooking up charger, attach
one clip to battery and the other to
a point away from battery (see the
following sections CHARGING A
BATTERY THAT IS INSTALLED IN
A VEHICLE or CHARGING A
BATTERY OUTSIDE A VEHICLE).
Do not hook up charger until
reading this entire manual.
To reduce explosion risk, never
connect both clips directly to the
battery. When making each
connection, twist or rock clip back
and forth several times to make a
good connection and to reduce the
risk of a clip slipping off and creating a
spark. Do not twist or rock clip on the
battery after the second clip
connection is made.
