FOR A NEGATIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE, CONNECT THE POSITIVE (RED) CLIP FROM
BATTERY CHARGER TO POSITIVE (POS, P, +) UNGROUNDED POST OF BATTERY.
CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (BLACK) 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;
vi.
FOR A POSITIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE, CONNECT THE NEGATIVE (BLACK) CLIP FROM
BATTERY CHARGER TO NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) UNGROUNDED POST OF BATTERY.
CONNECT THE 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;
vii.

viii.
WHEN DISCONNECTING CHARGER, TURN SWITCHES TO OFF, DISCONNECT AC CORD,
REMOVE CLIP FROM VEHICLE CHASSIS, AND THEN REMOVE CLIP FROM BATTERY
TERMINAL.
(n)
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;
ii.
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;
iv.
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;
v.
DO NOT FACE BATTERY WHEN MAKING FINAL CONNECTION;
vi.
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.
(o)
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE
