• Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative
post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), or if positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see below.
• 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.
• 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 heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
• When disconnecting charger, turn switch to off, disconnect AC Cord, remove clip from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE THE BATTERY TO EXPLODE. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
• Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
• Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) battery post.
• Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
• Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
• Do not face battery when making final connection.
• When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
• A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
