INSTALLATION
CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY
The solar battery charger maintainer MUST be disconnected from the
battery or cigarette lighter port when starting the engine or driving the
vehicle. Electric surges from the alternator when starting and running may
damage the solar battery charger maintainer.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave the solar battery charger maintainer connected and
unattended for extended periods of time. Check the battery status frequent-
ly for safe operation.
WARNING
Place the solar battery charger maintainer as far away from the battery as
the adapter cables permit. DO NOT place it directly above the battery.
WARNING
The solar battery charger maintainer is designed to compensate for the
battery self-discharge. Please do not rely on it for a full charge.
NOTE
Check the polarity of the battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) terminal usually has
a larger diameter than the negative (NEG, N, -) terminal.

Connect the included SAE to Ring Terminal Cable or SAE to Alligator Clip Cable to the
battery.
Connect the SAE to Ring Terminal Cable or SAE to Alligator Clip Cable to the solar battery
charger maintainer.
Place the solar battery charger maintainer, facing due south (or north), in the path of the
sun. Make sure that no shadows are cast on the solar battery charger maintainer.
If the battery is installed in the vehicle, the vehicle ground type must be identified. For a
negative-grounded vehicle, first connect the positive (red) alligator clip or ring terminal to
the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the battery, and then connect the negative (black)
alligator clip or ring terminal to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
For a positive-ground vehicle, first connect the negative (black) alligator clip or ring
terminal to the negative (NEG, N, -) terminal of the battery, and then connect the positive
(red) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
If the battery is outside the vehicle, a 24 inch (610mm) 6 AWG (13 mm2) insulated battery
cable must be first connected to the negative (NEG, N, -) battery terminal. Then connect
the positive (red) alligator clip or ring terminal to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the
battery and connect the negative (black) alligator clip or ring terminal to the free end of the
battery cable away from the battery.
Electric shock can occur if the adapter cable is damaged. DO NOT use a
damaged adapter cable to maintain or charge the battery. Position the
adapter cable properly to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or
hot engine parts.
