OPTIONAL INSTALLATION
d. Remove the loose pieces of insulation from the ends of the extension cable wires and crimp the black (negative) wire
into the Wire Splice connector using the crimpers.
e. Strip the charger output cable wires 3/8” if they are 12AWG. Strip the output wires 3/4” if they are 14AWG or
16AWG.
f. Place one of the Adhesive Heat Shrinks over the Wire Splice and onto the black extension cable wire.
g. For 12AWG wire, insert the black charger output cable into the Wire Splice and crimp using the crimpers. For 14AWG
or 16AWG wire, fold the stripped black charger output wire in half before inserting and crimping the wire.
h. Center the Adhesive Heat Shrink over the Wire Splice. Using the heat gun, warm the Adhesive Heat Shrink until it
seals the connection.
i. Repeat steps e through h for connecting the red or white (positive) wires to the Wire Splice.
j. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning off dirt, oil, battery corrosion, etc. Use a water and baking soda solution
for cleaning corrosion. Wipe using a dry cloth.
k. Route the output extension cable away from sharp objects. Do not remove the fuse holders, since fuses are located
on both the positive and negative wires for protection in case of a short circuit.
l. Now connect the extension cable to the battery. Be sure to connect the black (negative -) ring terminal to the
negative battery post and connect the red (po) ring terminal to the positive battery post.
