your battery. Wear complete eye

protection and clothing protection.

Charge your battery in a well-ventilated

area.

1. Avoid personal injury by keeping

clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and

other engine parts.

2. Avoid damaging the charger by

keeping the power cord and output

cords away from the hood, door or

moving engine parts.

3. Note the polarity of the battery posts

by checking the identification marks

on the battery: POSITIVE (POS, P or

positive post is usually larger than

the negative post.
