The other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery
and fuel line. See steps 6.5 and 6.6. The battery charger is then to be
connected to the supply mains. The connection to the supply mains is to be
in accordance with the national wiring rules.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) connector
from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) connector to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
connector to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
connector from the battery charger to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) connector
to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from
the battery. Do not connect the connector to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.
After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains.
Then remove the chassis connection and then the battery connection.
See Operating Instructions for length of charge information.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 7 AWG (10 mm2) insulated battery
cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger connector to the POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) post of the battery.
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to
