cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (
RED
) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of battery.

possible – then connect NEGATIVE (

of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of
connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away
from battery as practical.
