6. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY:
6.1
Position AC and DC cords to reduce
risk of damage by hood, door, or mov-
ing engine part.
6.2
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys,
and other parts that can cause injury
to persons.
6.3
Check polarity of battery posts. POS-
ITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
6.4
Determine which post of battery is
grounded (connected) to the chas-
sis. If negative post is grounded to
chassis (as in most vehicles), see
(6.5). If positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see (6.6).
6.5
For negative-grounded vehicle, con-
nect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery
charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from
battery. Do not connect clip to carbu-
retor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
6.6
For positive-grounded vehicle, con-
nect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from
battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, –) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to
vehicle chassis or engine block away
from battery. Do not connect clip to
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or
engine block.
6.7
When disconnecting charger, turn
switches to off, disconnect AC cord,
remove clip from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clip from battery
terminal.
6.8
See
Operating Instructions
for length
of charge information.
7. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY:
7.1
Check polarity of battery posts. POS-
ITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
7.2
Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge
(AWG) insulated battery cable to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
7.3
Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger
clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of
battery.
7.4
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.
7.5
Do not face battery when making
final connection.
7.6
When disconnecting charger, always
do so in reverse sequence of con-
necting procedure and break first
connection while as far away from
battery as practical.
7.7
A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore. To
charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
