NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post (i.e., jumper cable, not provided).
4. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post.
5. Position yourself and the “negative post extension” cable as far away from
the battery as possible, and connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
cable’s free end.
6. Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.
7. When the charger starts, the GREEN LED will be solid, and the display will

properly connected, the condition of the battery, and whether the battery is
6V or 12V.
8. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on the front of

disconnect the negative clamp, and nally the positive clamp.
