15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK

NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK

NEAR BATTERY:

a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving

engine part.

b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury

to persons.

c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually

has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If

negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is

grounded to the chassis, see (f).

e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery

charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE

(BLACK) 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 gage metal

part of the frame or engine block.

f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery

charger 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 gage metal part

of the frame or engine block.

g) When disconnecting charger, turn switch to off, disconnect ac cord, remove

clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
