g. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery
terminal.
h. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
b. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger
clamp to free end of cable.
c. Do not face battery when making final connection.
d. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break the first connection
while as far away from battery as practical.
e. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially
designed for marine use.
AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER. Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
LENGTH OF CHARGE
The following instruction will allow you to determine how long it will take to bring a specific battery to full charge.
a. Test the battery for state of charger with a hydrometer or electronic percent-of-charge tester.
b. Determine the size of the battery in Amp-Hour or Reserve Capacity. If the ratings are not printed on the battery, contact
your local battery dealer for this information. These are the only ratings that can be used to determine length to charging
time.
c. Use the battery rating, the charge level of the battery, and amp setting to be used on the charger in the formula provided
below.
Amp Hour Rating of Battery × Percent of Charged Needed × 1.3 = Hours to Charge
Amp Setting Selected On Charger
NOTE: The length of charge times are approximate and varies from the battery to battery. Always follow the battery
manufacturer’s specific charging instructions.
