• DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER TO PLUG THE CHARGER WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG INTO A
TWO-PRONG OUTLET. IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• AN EXTENSION CORD OR ELECTRICAL OUTLET MUST ACCEPT A THREE-PRONG PLUG.
EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE A THREE-WIRE NO. 12 AWG AND BE AS SHORT AS
POSSIBLE. THE USE OF IMPROPER EXTENSION CORD COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER IF IT HAS RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, WAS DROPPED, OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
• NEVER PUSH OBJECTS OF ANY KIND INTO THE CHARGER THROUGH CABINET SLOTS.
THEY MAY TOUCH DANGEROUS VOLTAGE POINTS OR CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT
CIRCUIT THAT COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• DO NOT CONNECT A STATIONARY CHARGER TO THE RECEPTACLE IF THE CHARGER
CORD, PLUG, OR THE VEHICLE RECEPTACLE IS BROKEN, DAMAGED IN ANY MANNER, OR
DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. HAVE A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN REPAIR OR REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
• WHEN USING A STATIONARY CHARGER, DO NOT PULL ON THE DC CORD (FIGURE 18,
PAGE 32). DO NOT TWIST, ROCK, OR BEND THE PLUG. TO DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM
THE RECEPTACLE, GRASP THE PLUG,
NOT THE CORD, AND SLOWLY PULL IT STRAIGHT
OUT OF THE RECEPTACLE (FIGURE 17, PAGE 32).
• WHEN THE CHARGER IS ON, THE CHARGER DC CORD MAY BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
VEHICLE RECEPTACLE SLOWLY. JERKING OR PULLING THE DC CORD OUT QUICKLY
COULD CAUSE ARCING AND BURNING THAT COULD DAMAGE THE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
AND COULD CAUSE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE.
• DO NOT USE A CHARGER IF:
- THE PLUG IS TOO LOOSE OR DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION.
- THE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE FEEL HOTTER THAN NORMAL DURING CHARGE.
- THE PLUG PINS OR CONTACTS ARE BENT OR CORRODED.
- THE PLUG, RECEPTACLE OR CORDS ARE CUT, WORN, HAVE ANY EXPOSED WIRES, OR
ARE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
USING A CHARGER WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS COULD RESULT IN FIRE,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
• DO NOT BLOCK OR COVER SLOTS AND OPENINGS IN THE BACK AND BOTTOM OF
CHARGER CABINET. THEY PROVIDE VENTILATION AND PROTECT THE CHARGER FROM
OVERHEATING.
• DO NOT ALLOW CLOTHING, BLANKETS, OR OTHER MATERIAL TO COVER THE CHARGER.
• PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR THE CHARGER.
• INSTALL SURGE ARRESTORS ON INCOMING AC POWER LINES. SURGE ARRESTORS WILL
HELP PROTECT ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE CHARGER AND ON THE
VEHICLE FROM ALL BUT DIRECT OR VERY CLOSE LIGHTNING STRIKES.
