WARNING
• Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the
plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 8-3).
• The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle. Jerking or pulling the
DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could
cause batteries to explode.
• Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace
worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
ý
CAUTION
• Do not connect an external charger to the receptacle of a vehicle equipped with an onboard
charger while the onboard charger is activated. Charging overload will damage the onboard
computer and may cause battery damage.
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them
for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger
plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts
and plug terminals should be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner. The plug should then be inserted
and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact.
See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE:
If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.
