GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug

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.
This battery charger is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 110-240 volts and
is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to an
acceptable electric circuit. Make sure that the charger is connected to an outlet with the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS
INSTALLED IN VEHICLE
. A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY MAY CAUSE THE BATTERY TO EXPLODE. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
• Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
