Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage 6.1
by the hood, door and 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 6.2
cause injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, 6.3
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to 6.4
the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as
in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded
to the chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded 6.5
vehicle, connect the
POSITIVE (RED) clip
from the battery charger
to the POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) ungrounded post of
the battery. Connect the
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.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE 6.6
(BLACK) clip from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE
(RED) 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.
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.6.7
