FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
6.1 Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
6.2
6.3 Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (6.5). If positive post is grounded
6.4
to the chassis, see (6.6).
For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from the unit to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle
6.5
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.
6.6 For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the unit 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.
6.7 Connect the unit's AC supply cord to electrical outlet and press the START/STOP button to turn the output on.
When disconnecting the unit, press the START/STOP button to turn the output off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the
6.8
clip from the battery terminal.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
7.1
Attach at least a 24-inch long 4-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
7.2
Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
7.3
Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to free end of cable.
7.4
7.5 Do not face battery when making final connection.
7.6 Connect the unit's AC supply cord to electrical outlet and press the START/STOP button to turn the output on.
7.7 When disconnecting the unit, press the START/STOP button to turn the output off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the cable attached to the negative battery
terminal and then remove the clip from the positive battery terminal.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

This unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug. The unit must be grounded, to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
8.1
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection
8.2
can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and should not be used.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
8.3
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension cord, follow these guidelines:
• Pins on plug of extension cord must be the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on the unit.
• Ensure that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• Wire size must be large enough for the AC ampere rating of unit as specified:
• 100 feet (30.5 meters) long or less – use a 12 gauge (3.31 mm
• Over 100 feet (30.5 meters) long – use an 8 gauge (8.36 mm

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the unit.

10. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

To permanently mount the unit, use the following instructions:
10.1 Slide all 4 brackets (Item 1) into the track on the back, from the right
side, as shown above. Make sure the set screws (Item 2) are unscrewed
enough so they do not scratch the surface of the housing.
10.2 Measure what you are mounting the unit to before deciding where to locate
the brackets (add an additional ¼ to ½ inch). Use the ruler on the label
(Item 3) to mount the brackets (Item 1) in the correct position (position
each bracket an equal distance from the center of the unit). Note that the
inches shown are for both bracket dimensions combined (meaning the
dimensions are doubled), this is for easier reference. Make sure the ¼-28
set screws (Item 4) are unscrewed enough so the pointed end is almost
flush with the bracket. Mount the brackets (Item 1) by tightening all 8 set
screws (Item 2) to 14 in/lb (1.6 n/m) of torque.
Lift the unit by its handle and set it against your mounting location, tighten
10.3
the set screws (Item 4) to 66 in/lb (7.5 n/m) of torque to secure the
brackets (Item 1), starting with the top two brackets first.
