OPERATING INSTRUCTION: CHARGING BATTERY IN VEHICLE

1. Position AC power cord and DC charging cords to reduce risk of

damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts.

2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can

cause injury.

3. Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked by

each post: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -).

NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger diameter

than the negative post.

4. Determine which post of battery is ground (connected) to

chassis.

NOTE: The negative post is normally grounded.

gine block away from battery. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part

of the frame or engine block.

tilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be force-

fully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other

nonmetallic material as a fan.

When charging battery out of vehicle, take care to determine the battery type. To reduce risk of a spark near battery, follow these step

when battery is outside vehicle. WARNING: A spark near the battery may cause battery explosion. WARNING: When removing

cause an arc. (NOTE: A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge on board requires special

equipment designed for marine use.) WARNING: When reinstalling battery, attach the ground post first.
