WARNING

Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electric shock.

When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.

Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size, and shape as those on the charger.

DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug or the extension cord plug.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.6 on page 65.
