Safety Guidelines
7 Installing The Battery
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.
7.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the charger
cords permit and position the AC and DC cords to avoid stepping
on or tripping over them and to prevent damage by moving en-
gine parts.
7.2 Turn OFF all vehicle loads, including door lights, and correct any
defects in the vehicle’s electrical system that may have caused
low battery.
7.3 First connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the charger to
the POSITIVE (POS., P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Then
connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG.,
N,–) post of the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carbu-
retor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
8 Removing the Battery
8.1 If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle or equip-
ment, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery
first.

Risk of explosive gases.
Make sure all vehicle loads are OFF to prevent a
possible arc.
8.2 Check the polarity of battery posts.
8.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE
(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 reverse se-
quence of the connecting procedure; break the first connection
while staying as far away from the battery as practical.
9 Maintenance & Storage
Follow these guidelines to protect the charger and test cables from
damage and premature wear:
9.1 The grease, dirt, and sulfation that build up on battery terminals
are highly corrosive and can damage the clamps over time. Be-
fore connecting the clamps, ensure accurate test readings and
protect the clamps by cleaning the battery case and terminals
using a wire brush and a mixture of water and baking soda.
9.2 Periodically clean the clamps using a mixture of baking soda and
water, or a mild hand-soap, and a small bristle brush.
9.3 Clean the battery terminals. If stud adapters are required, fasten
them with the proper tool. Do not use the battery clamps to
tighten adapters.
9.4 Never remove the clamps from a battery to abort an active
charging session. Always press the red STOP button before re-
moving the clamps.
9.5 Do not leave the clamps laying in battery acid.
Locking Power Cord
Always use the red tabs on each side of the power cord connector to
release/remove it from the charger’s power socket.
Pull Up To
Release
Storage
