DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or fire.

aIf the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating ‒ for example:

1250 watts/125 volts = 10 amperes

8.3Grounding Methods

This charger must be properly grounded. Make sure the AC outlet you are plugging it into is properly grounded per local codes and regulations. If it is not, have one installed by a qualified service person. Do not remove or bypass the grounding pin on the plug or receptacle.
