A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A

BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and 6.1

moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the

charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips

or cut the insulation of the cables.

Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.6.2

NEGATIVE(BLACK)cliptothevehiclechassisorengineblockawayfromthebattery.

Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect

to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
