Charging your battery outside the vehicle:

1.Remove the battery from vehicle, making sure to disconnect grounded terminal first with all power turned off to the vehicle.

2.Check the polarity of the battery posts as indicated 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 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 at least 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 any arcing and sparking will not occur directly over the battery. (The battery cable is not provided with the charger, but may be purchased at most automo- tive accessory outlets.)

5.Take the other end of the 6-gauge (AWG) or a 4- gauge (SAE) insulated 24-inch cable and, standing as far away from the battery as possible, connect the black (NEGATIVE) lead to the free end of the cable. Be sure to rock the clamp to make a solid connection. IMPORTANT: Wear safety glasses and face away from the battery while making the final connection.

6.Set your charger's right-hand 3-position selector switch to the OFF position. Then plug the charger's power cord into a grounded AC wall outlet.

7.Select the desired charge rate. (See "Setting the Controls" on page 7.)

8.The charger will not stop when the battery is fully charged. For this reason it is important to check charging progress frequently. Overcharging can damage a battery, you must monitor and unplug charger when battery is fully charged.

9.When the battery is fully charged, the AMMETER needle will fall to about half the charge rate selected. For specific positions, see the "Amme- ter" section of "Settings the Controls" on page 7.

10.When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger power cord before attempting to discon- nect charger clamps.

11.Facing away from the battery, remove the charger leads. Remove the NEGATIVE clamp first, then from the POSITIVE battery post or terminal.

12.Clean and store the battery charger in a dry location.
