FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY
MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
i.
CHECK POLARITY OF BATTERY POSTS. A POSITIVE (POS, P, +) BATTERY POST USUALLY
HAS A LARGER DIAMETER THAN A NEGATIVE (NEG, N,
–) POST;

ATTACH AT LEAST A 60 CM 6-GAUGE (AWG) INSULATED BATTERY CABLE TO A NEGATIVE
(NEG, N,
–) BATTERY POST;
iii.
CONNECT THE POSITIVE (RED) CHARGER CLIP TO THE POSITIVE (POS, P, +) POST OF
BATTERY;

POSITION YOURSELF AND THE FREE END OF CABLE AS FAR AWAY FROM BATTERY AS
POSSIBLE, THEN CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (BLACK) CHARGER CLIP TO FREE END OF
CABLE;

CONNECT CHARGER AC SUPPLY CORD TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET; AND
vii.
WHEN DISCONNECTING CHARGER, ALWAYS DO SO IN REVERSE SEQUENCE OF
CONNECTING PROCEDURE AND BREAK FIRST CONNECTION WHILE STANDING AS FAR
AWAY FROM BATTERY AS PRACTICAL.
