CONNECTING TO BATTERY
1. Set any charger switches to “off” position
and remove AC cord from electric outlet
before connecting or disconnecting DC
output clamps or eyelets. Never allow
clamps or eyelets to touch each other.
2. Identify the correct polarity of the battery
terminals. The positive battery terminal is
typically marked with (POS, P, +). The
negative terminal is typically marked with
(NEG, N, -).
3. Position cords and cables to reduce risk
of damage by hood, door or moving parts
(including fan blades, belts, and pulleys)
or other parts that could cause injury
to persons.
4. Do not connect to carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts.
5. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles)
see (6). If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see (7).
6. For Negative-grounded vehicle, connect
POSITIVE (RED) clamp or eyelet connector
from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp or eyelet connector from battery
charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post of battery.
7. For Positive grounded vehicle, connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp or eyelet
connector from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post of battery.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp or eyelet
connector from battery charger to the
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
8. When disconnecting charger, turn switches
to off, disconnect AC cord, remove
connectors in reverse sequence from
connecting procedure.
