from battery. Do not connect clip 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) clamp from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N,
–) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from
battery. Do not connect clip 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, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove
clamp from battery terminal.
8. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
9. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
Follow these steps when the battery has been removed from a vehicle. A spark near the battery may cause an explosion.

Rapid Start Charge at 30
amps delivers maximum charging
amperage to “wake up” any serviceable 12
volt battery and allows for quick engine
starting. When battery reaches a maximum
safe predetermined voltage, the charger
will automatically signal a "beep" and move
into Stage 2 of the charging process.

Absorption Charge
maintains the maximum possible charge
at a constant, safe, predetermined
voltage. During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is reduced
to allow for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer. At the end of Stage 2, the charger will
automatically move into Stage 3 charge mode.
