1.Note the polarity of the battery posts by checking the identification marks on the battery: POSITIVE (POS, P or +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -). The positive post is usually larger than the negative post.

2.Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6- gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -) battery post. Rock and twist the clamp back and forth to be sure a solid electrical connection is made.

3.Connect the red (POSITIVE) output clamp to the POSITIVE battery post. Rock and twist the clamp back and forth to be sure a solid electrical connection is made.

4.Position yourself as far away from the battery as possible, and then connect the black (NEGATIVE) output clamp to the free end of the cable.
