Before Using Your Battery Charger

It is important to understand your charger's requirements. This section will tell you about your charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.

Plugging it in

! WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Be sure that power cord fits properly into outlet. If not, have a qualified technician install a proper outlet. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided.

Improper connection can result in electrical shock.

Your charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Your charger is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a ground- ing plug designed to be used on a 120 volt circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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 that the pins on charger's power cord fit firmly into the extension cord, and that the extension cord fits firmly into the receptacle.

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

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

•Make sure that the wire size is large enough for its length and for the AC ampere rating as specified in the accompanying chart.
