NOCO Genius10 10A Battery Charger - Manuel (Page 6)

CAUTION. USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. FORCE MODE DISABLES SAFETY FEATURES AND LIVE POWER IS PRESENT AT THE CONNECTORS. ENSURE ALL
CONNECTIONS ARE MADE PRIOR TO ENTERING FORCE MODE, AND DO NOT TOUCH CONNECTIONS TOGETHER. RISK OF SPARKS, FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, INJURY, AND DEATH.
Connecting to the Battery.
Do not connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. The positive battery
terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (POS, P, +). The negative battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG, N, -). Do not
make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
1.) Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2.) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3.) Check polarity of battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery terminal usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
4.) Determine which battery terminal is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative battery terminal is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see Step 5. If
positive battery terminal is grounded to the chassis, see Step 6.
5.) For negative-grounded vehicle only, connect POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P. +) ungrounded
battery terminal. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6.) For positive-grounded vehicle only, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
ungrounded battery terminal. Connect POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Connect to a
heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
7.) Connect the battery charger into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when making this connection.
8.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
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:
1.) Check polarity of battery terminals. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery terminal usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
