body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or

engine block.

ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED)

7. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE

THE VEHICLE.

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY

MAY CAUSE A BATTERY

EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE

BATTERY:

7.1 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +)

battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE

(NEG, N, -) post.

7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) (13.29 mm

)

insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.

7.3 Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE

(POS, P, +) post of the battery.

7.4 Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously

attached to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away

from the battery as possible – then connect the NEGATIVE

(BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the cable.

7.5 Do not face the battery when making the nal connection.

7.6 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.

7.7 When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse

order of the connecting procedure and break the rst connection

while as far away from the battery as practical.
