16. 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) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –)
post.
b) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery
cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (
RED
) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery
as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (
) charger clip to
free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence
of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far
away from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore.
To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for
marine use.
