FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE7.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The 7.1
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the 7.2
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.7.3
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the NEGATIVE 7.4
(NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible – then connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the cable.
Do not face the battery when making the nal connection.7.5
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.7.6
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the connecting 7.7
procedure and break the rst connection while as far away from the battery as practical.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard 7.8
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
