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 rate with the Selector Switch then plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet to begin charging.

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 pointer will fall to about half the charge rate selected. For specific positions, refer to the

“Ammeter” section in “Using your battery charger” on a page 6.

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

11.Standing away from the battery, remove the charger clamps in this order: (1) from the chassis connection and, (2) from the battery post or terminal.

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

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 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 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.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 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.

6.Select the rate of charge with the Selector Switch and plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet to begin charging.
