CHARGING THE BATTERY

When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise con-

nect battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity

is correct. Improper polarity can damage the charging

circuit. The VANTAGE 500 CUMMINS positive (+)

battery terminal has a red terminal cover.

If you need to charge the battery with an external

charger, disconnect the negative cable first, then the

positive cable before you attach the charger leads.

after the battery is charged, reconnect the positive

battery cable first and the negative cable last. Failure

to do so can result in damage to the internal charger

components.

Follow the instructions of the battery charger manu-

facturer for proper charger settings and charging time.
