Charging your battery outside the vehicle:

1.Remove the battery from vehicle, making sure to disconnect grounded terminal first with all accessories and lights turned off in the vehicle.

2.Check the polarity of the battery posts as indi- cated on the battery case: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -).

NOTE: On top-post batteries, the positive battery terminal usually has a larger diameter post than the negative one.

3.Connect the red (POSITIVE) charger clamp to the POSITIVE post of the battery. Be sure to rock the clip back and forth to make a solid connection.

4.Attach a 6-gauge (AWG) or a 4-gauge (SAE) insulated battery cable of at least 24-inches in length to the NEGATIVE battery post. This cable will provide a safer connection because arcing and sparking will occur away from the battery. (The battery cable is not provided with the charger, but may be purchased at most automotive accessory outlets.)

5.Standing as far away from the battery as possible, connect the black (NEGATIVE) lead of the charger to the free end of the cable. Rock the clamp to make a solid connection. IMPORTANT: Wear safety glasses and face away from the battery while making this final connection.
