4.AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: NEVER ALTER CHARGER’S ORIGINAL AC CORD OR PLUG. IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT OUTLET, HAVE PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. dISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN CHARGER IS IDLE.

4.2This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: BEFORE USING AN ADAPTER AS ILLUSTRATED, BE CERTAIN THAT THE CENTER SCREW OF THE OUTLET PLATE IS GROUNDED (D). THE GREEN-COLORED RIGID EAR OR LUG EXTENDING FROM ADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. MAKE CERTAIN IT IS GROUNDED. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OUTLET COVER PLATE SCREW WITH A LONGER SCREW THAT WILL SECURE THE ADAPTER EAR OR LUG TO THE COVER PLATE AND MAKE THE GROUND CONNECTION TO THE GROUNDED OUTLET.
