FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1.
Position AC and DC cords/cables to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or other moving engine parts.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N,-) post.
4. Determine which battery post is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as
in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS,P, +) post
of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not
connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not
connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
7. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord first. Then remove clamps from vehicle chassis from
battery terminal.
8. Refer to operating instructions for length of charge information.
9. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts for top-mounted battery connectors, the Positive posts (marked POS,P, +) usually
has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N,-). For side-mounted battery connections,
the side-mounted battery connections, the Positive terminal is red, the Negative terminal is black.
2. Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) 6 AWG insulated battery cable to the Negative battery post (marked NEG,
N,-).
3. Connect the Positive (RED) battery clamp to the Positive battery connector (marked POS,P, + or red).
4. Stand as far back from the battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final connection.
5. Carefully connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected to the
negative terminal.
6. Set the charge rate to appropriate setting according to battery size.
7. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first
connection while as far away from battery as practical.
8. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
NOTE
: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
