4. Determine which post of
battery is grounded (connected)
to the chassis. If the negative
post is grounded to the chassis
(as in most vehicles), see Figure
1 and instruction 5a. If the
positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see Figure 2 and
instruction 5b.
5a. For NEGATIVE GROUNDED
vehicle, connect POSITIVE (Red) clip from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the
battery.
5b. For POSITIVE GOUNDED vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE
(Black) clip from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) ungrounded post of the battery.

CAUTION: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Attach a cable (not provided) to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
battery post. This cable must be a minimum of 24" long, and
of a wire gauge that is no lighter than the wire gauge of the
charger's output cables (battery cables and booster cables work
well).
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of battery.
4. Position yourself and the free end of the cable (installed
in step #2) as FAR away from the battery as possible. FACING
AWAY FROM THE BATTERY, connect the NEGATIVE (Black)
charger clip to the free end of cable.

6. Connect the remaining battery
charger clip to the vehicle
chassis or engine block, as

gauge metal part of the frame
or engine block.

position to off, disconnect ac cord, remove clip from battery
terminal.
8. Refer to the Operating Instruction for information on setting
selector switches. Be sure to refer to the instructions for
your model of charger.
