Sears 200.71450 Using an extension cord, Minimum Recommended Extension Cord, AWG* Size of Cord

A TEMPORARY adapter may be used to connect the charger to a two-pole outlet if a properly grounded outlet is not available. Use the adapter ONLY until a 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. The green colored grounding clip of the adapter must be attached by a screw to a properly grounded outlet. If unsure whether outlet is properly grounded, contact a professional electrician. If neces- sary, replace the original outlet cover screw with a longer one that will secure the grounding clip to the outlet cover and make a ground connection to the grounded outlet.

Using an extension cord

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension cord, please make sure that you follow these guidelines:

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

•Use only 3-conductor (grounded) extension cord when necessary.

•Check that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

•Use the recommemnded minumum AWG (American Wire Gauge) to be sure that wire size is large enough for the rating of the charger.
