NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) post of battery.

sequence of connect ing procedure and break first con-
nection while as far away from battery as practical.

still exist. Don’t leave any ba ttery d uring charging una t-
tended for a longer period of time.
• If power consumers like fitted alarms and navigation com-
puters are connecte d to the battery, the charging process
takes longer an d may drain the battery.
• Always check that the charger has switched to STEP 7

long periods. If the charger has not switched to STEP 7
within 50 hours, this is an indication of an error. Disconnect
