DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a. Connect and disconnect DC output clips from battery only
after removing charger power cord from outlet.
b. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and
forth several times to make good contact. This tends to keep
clips from slipping off terminals and reduces risk of sparking.

IS INSTALLED IN EQUIPMENT (VEHICLE, PWC,
BOAT, TRACTOR, ETC.) A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY TO EXPLODE. TO REDUCE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
c. Position DC output cord to reduce risk of damage by hood,
door, covers, or moving engine parts.
d. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that
can cause injuries.
