CHARGING IF BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE:
It is normal for a battery to get warm during charging. If a battery is getting hot, reduce charge rate or
discontinue charging.
a) Set charger selector switch to appropriate setting. If in doubt, refer to vehicle manufacturers'
recommendations.
b) Check polarity of battery posts - For top-mounted battery connectors, the Positive post (marked
POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, -). For side-
mounted battery connectors, the terminals are marked Positive -red and Negative - black.
c) Attach charger clamps to battery connections, as follows, ensuring a good connection:
NEGATIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE: Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) ungrounded battery terminal. Then, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the vehicle chassis,
or the engine block (away from the battery).
DO NOT
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet-metal body parts: connect only to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
NOTE:
NEGATIVE-GROUNDED type systems are the most common in today's vehicles. If in doubt, check
vehicle manufacturers' recommendations.
POSITIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE:
Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded battery post. Then, connect the POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp to the vehicle chassis
or engine part (away from the battery).
DO NOT
connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-
metal body parts: connect only to a heavy gauge, stable metal part of the frame or engine block.
NOTE:
If there is any problem connecting the charger clamps to the battery terminals, contact the King Craft
Technical Support Department at (954) 584-4446 or toll-free (866) 584-5504 ext.19 for assistance.
d) Plug battery charger power cord into grounded AC power outlet and refer to Appendix A at the end
of this document for approximate charging times.
e) If Red Reverse Polarity LED lights, change battery and chassis clamp connection.
f) Check Charge Status indicator: if green charging, if red charging is complete. If yellow is visible then
battery is not connected. If Charge Status is not lit, switch may be OFF.
CHARGE STATUS LED
Not lit - - switch OFF - reverse polarity - no AC
YELLOW (power on) - battery not connected - AC applied
RED - Charging Battery
GREEN - Charging Complete
NOTE:
Use of Extension Cords
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, as is often the case, observe the following important safety
information:
• Before using any extension cord, ensure that the wire size is at least 18 AWG or larger and 16 AWG
for longer than 100 feet.
• Use only a good quality, good condition, UL-approved extension cord, and ALWAYS connect charger to
the extension cord before plugging the extension cord into a 110/120 volt AC power outlet. The use of a
poor quality extension cord or one that is not in good repair could cause fire and/or electric shock.
• Use a three-wire extension cord with a 3-prong plug and 3-conductor socket.
e) When charging is completed, disconnect cables and clamps in reverse order from which they were
connected.
