DO NOT CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
COLD BATTERIES: Begin charging at lowest rate, increase
rate as battery reaches normal temperature.
1. Unplug Charger/Starter.
2. Position AC and DC cables to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door, or moving engine part.
3. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts
that can cause injury to persons.
4. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
5. Determine which battery post is grounded (connected)
to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis,
see a. If positive post
is grounded to the chassis, see b.
a. For negative-grounded vehicle (as in most
vehicles):
*Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery
Charger/Starter to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded
post of battery.
*Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip 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.
b. For positive-grounded vehicle:
*Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery
Charger/Starter to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE
(RED) clip 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.
6. Plug Charger/Starter into grounded 120V receptacle.
7. Turn Power Switch on.
8. Press Function Select Button until desired function lights
up.
WARNING!
Do not use 12V 200A Start function for charging.
9. Press Start/Stop button to start function.
10. When finished, turn Power Switch off, unplug power
