Safety Guidelines
7.8 For positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp from the charger to the NEGATIVE
(NEG., N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Then connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS., P, +)
post of the battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
When disconnecting the charger, turn the switches to
OFF, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from
the POSITIVE battery terminal, and then remove the
clamp from the NEGATIVE battery terminal.
CAUTION: WHEN POSITIVE (+) POST OF VEHICLE
BATTERY IS GROUNDED, DOUBLE CHECK POLARITY.
Removing the Battery
8. If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle
or equipment, always remove the grounded terminal
from the battery first.
Risk of explosive gases.
A spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion.
Follow these steps when the battery is installed in the
vehicle to reduce the risk of explosion.
Risk of explosive gases.
Make sure all vehicle loads are OFF to prevent a
possible arc..
8.1 Check the polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS.,
P, +) post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG., N, –) post.
8.2 Attach at least a 60 cm (24-inch), 6-gauge insulated bat-
tery cable to the negative (–) battery terminal.
8.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POS-
ITIVE (POS., P, +) post of battery.
8.4 Position yourself and the free end of cable as far away
from the battery as possible—do not face the battery
when making the final connection—then connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of
the cable.
8.5 When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the re-
verse sequence of the connecting procedure; break the
first connection while staying as far away from the bat-
tery as practical.

y Reminder
For safe, efficient, and accurate charging and testing, review
the safety and operating instructions in this manual before
using the analyzer. In addition, follow all manufacturers’
instructions and BCI (Battery Council International) safety
recommendations.
Safety Precautions
Inspect the battery for damages and check the electrolyte
level. If the electrolyte level is too low, replenish it and
fully charge the battery. Always use the necessary safety
precautions when working with batteries to prevent severe
injury or death. Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and
BCI (Battery Council International) safety recommendations.
Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes,
immediately flush them thoroughly with cold running
water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical atten-
tion. If battery acid gets on your skin or clothing, wash
immediately with a mixture of water and baking soda.
Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when
working with or around batteries.
Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer
cords and cables away from moving engine parts.
Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servic-
ing the battery.
Use caution when working with metallic tools to pre-
vent sparks or short circuits.
Never lean over a battery when testing, charging, or
jump starting.
Never charge a frozen battery. Gases may form, cracking
the case, and spray out battery acid.
