4. Determine correct battery polarity before attaching clamps to the battery. The Positive (+) Red clamp
goes to the positive battery post. The Negative (-) Black clamp goes to the negative battery post.
When attaching the rack to the charger, double check all connections with a voltmeter.
5, For safe connections, clean corroded clamps in a baking soda and water solution. When doing this be
sure the charger is turned off and all batteries are disconnected from the charging system. Do not
place red clamps and black clamps into a container of baking soda at the same time. Do only black or
only red at any one time.

assemblies should reach the third or fourth hole above the middle shelf.
9. Attach cables from the charger to either end of the rack by removing the insulator boots, attaching the
cables and reinstalling the boots as illustrated in figures 1 and 2, using the hardware provided. Use
extreme caution in maintaining the correct polarity of input cable. Positive should be connected to the
