Napa Essentials 85-2500 manual Charger Features and Controls ON/OFF Switch, Ammeter

When disconnecting the charger, turn the switch to OFF (O), disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.

CAUTION: WHEN THE POSITIVE (+) POST OF THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS GROUNDED, DOUBLE-CHECK POLARITY.

8.THE BATTERY OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT—NOT CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE

If necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle or equipment, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first.

WARNING: Make sure all vehicle loads are OFF to prevent a possible arc.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK:

8.1Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –)post.

8.2Attach an insulated battery cable that is at least a 24-inch, 6-gauge to the NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –)battery post.

8.3Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post of the battery.

8.4Position yourself and the free end of cable as far away from the battery as possible. Do not face the battery when making the final connection. Then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the cable.

8.5When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse sequence of the connecting procedure. Break the first connection while staying as far away from the battery as practical.
