7. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off,
disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis
and then remove clip from battery terminal.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS
OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch long, 6 gauge (AWG)
insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) of the battery.
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away
from battery as possible, then connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence while as far away from battery as practical.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and
charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use.
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electrical
shock. Charger is equipped with an electrical cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding pin. This plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER-- Never alter AC cord or plug provided. If it
will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a
risk of an electrical shock.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 117 volt
AC circuit* and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch (A). A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
sketches (B) & (C) may be used to connect this plug
to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch (B) if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
* Optional Voltages are available.
NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED
IN CANADA. If a grounding type receptacle is not
available, DO NOT use this appliance in CANADA
until the proper outlet is installed by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER-- Before using an adapter as illustrated, be
certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is
grounded. The green colored rigid ear or lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet. Make certain it is
grounded.
If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw
with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or
lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection
to grounded outlet.
This charger is suitable for use with all types of lead
acid batteries, including the new types of
maintenance free and gelled electrolyte batteries.
1. Disconnect vehicle battery cables.
2. Connect charger to battery. Ensure correct
polarity. - BLACK lead to negative (-) terminal and
