7.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLO- SION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:

7.1Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

7.2Attach at least a 24-inch long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.

7.3Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.

7.4Position 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.

7.5Do not face the battery when making the final connection.

7.6When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from the battery as practical.

7.7A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
