Charging Your Battery

Charging a battery in the vehicle:

1.Arrange the power cord and charging leads carefully to avoid damage that could be caused by the hood, door, or moving engine parts.

2.Keep clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury.

3.Check the polarity of the battery posts as indicated on the battery case: POSITIVE (POS, P, or +) and NEGATIVE (NEG. N or -). NOTE: The positive post on top-post batteries is usually larger than the negative post.

4.Identify which battery post is ground or connected to the chassis. THE NEGATIVE POST IS NORMALLY

THE ONE THAT IS GROUNDED.

5.To charge a negative grounded post system: Connect the red (POSITIVE) battery charger clamp to the ungrounded POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery. Then connect the black (NEGATIVE) clamp to a heavy, unpainted metal part of the chassis or engine block, away from the battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal parts.

To charge a positive grounded post system: Connect the black (NEGATIVE) battery charger clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Then connect the red (POSITIVE) clamp to a heavy, unpainted metal part of the chassis or engine block. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal parts. IMPORTANT: Wear safety glasses and face away from the battery when making connections.

6.Connect the clamp to the battery post and twist or rock back and forth to make a solid connection. This will help keep the clamps from slipping off the posts and causing sparks.

7.Select the charge voltage with the Selector Switch and plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet to begin charging.

NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM

QUICK DISCONNECT HARNESS

To permanently attach to a small battery (i.e. motorcycle), connect the red POSITIVE eyelet to the POSITIVE battery terminal. Then connect the black NEGATIVE eyelet to the NEGATIVE battery terminal. Loosen and remove each nut from bolts at battery terminal. One at a time, slip the eyelets of the harness wires over the bolt at battery terminal. Replace and tighen nuts to secure.
