7. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE
WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
7.1 Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
7.2 Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge
(AWG) insulated battery cable to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
7.3 Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
7.4 Position yourself and free end of cable as
far away from battery as possible – then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip
to free end of cable.
7.5 Do not face battery when making nal
connection.
7.6 When disconnecting charger, always do
so in reverse sequence of connecting
procedure and break rst connection while
as far away from battery as practical.
7.7 A marine (boat) battery must be removed
and charged on shore. To charge it on
board requires equipment specially
designed for marine use.
8. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
8.1 This battery charger is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug.
The charger must be grounded, to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. The plug
pins must t the receptacle (outlet). Do not
use with an ungrounded system.
8.2 DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or
plug provided – if it does not t the outlet,
have a proper grounded outlet installed
by a qualied electrician. An improper
connection can result in a risk of an
electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian
Regulations, use of an adapter plug
is not allowed in Canada. Use of an
adapter plug in the United States is not
recommended and should not be used.
8.3 USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, follow these guidelines:
• Pins on plug of extension cord must be
the same number, size, and shape as
those of plug on charger.
• Ensure that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Wire size must be large enough for
the AC ampere rating of charger, as
specied:
Length of cord (feet) 25 50 100 150
AWG* size of cord 16 12 10 8
*AWG-American Wire Gauge
9. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the
cables prior to using the battery charger.
9.2 Extend the handle from the retracted
position by pulling it upward until it locks
into place. (Press the small silver buttons
inward, if necessary.)

can be set to either 12V/250A or 6V/125A
Engine Start mode. The corresponding
rate selection LED will illuminate for each
Engine Start Mode.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives a digital indication
