CHARGING SAFETY
To avoid risk of electrical shock, fire, and serious injury or death:
• Only use a charger
that is approved by
Alta Motors for use with
your vehicle model.
• Have any outlet used
for charging inspected
by a licensed
electrician. Inspection
should include
verifying proper
grounding, sufficient
current handling,
dedicated circuit, and
breaker function.
• If you use any life-
sustaining medical
electrical devices,
check with the
manufacturer about
the effects that
charging may have on
that device.
• Charge outdoors or in
large ventilated areas.
Do not use a vehicle
cover during charging.
• Do not charge with
building wiring more
than 40 years old.
• Do not charge if
outlet appears
damaged or will not
hold plug firmly.
• If your AC cord is
equipped with a
GFCI, test it monthly
(“TEST” button).
• Do not charge with
other devices plugged
into the same circuit.
• Do not use unapproved
extension cords or plug
adapters to charge.
• Do not touch exposed
connector terminals.
• Do not move the vehicle
while charging.
• Do not touch the
vehicle or charger
when there is lightning.
A lightning strike may
feed back into the
charging system.
• Do not disassemble or
modify the charger or
vehicle connector.
Plug should be
modified only by a
licensed electrician.
• Stop charging
immediately if charge
plug or outlet becomes
hot to the touch.
• Do not charge near fire,
heat, flammable
materials, or water.
• Make sure there is no
water or debris in the
charge port, connector
or electrical plug, and
that they are not
damaged, rusted or
corroded. Make sure
the charge port cap is
closed once charging is
finished to prevent
water and foreign
debris from entering.
• Do not unplug
anything until
charging has been
disabled by setting
the run/stop switch to
the “stop” position.
