FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN 6.
VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,
6.1
door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the
hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch
the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause
6.2
injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
6.3
post usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chas
- 6.4
sis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles),
see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from 6.5
the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip 6.6
from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the
6.7
AC cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the
clip from the battery terminal.
See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
7.1
post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery
7.2
cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
7.3
post of the battery.
