Owner’s Guide
Supply enough ventilation during the charge cycle.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Read all of the manufacturers specified precautions for the battery. For example, recommended
rates of charge and removal of cell caps during charge cycle.
Portable chargers are supplied with the vehicles. Before vehicle or charger operation, remove the charger from the vehi-
cle.
A dedicated circuit is necessary for the charger.
Refer to the charger manual for correct circuit protection. For
best performance and shortest charge times, put the charger in an area with good ventilation.
The list below supplies points to keep the charger cool while in operation.
•
Put the charger in an area that is without dirt, mud or dust to prevent build-up in the charger fins.
•
Put the charger on a horizontal surface with the fins vertical.
•
Put the charger on a platform above the ground to allow air to flow around and below the charger.
If the charger is operated in an outdoor location, rain and sun protection must be supplied.
Because the charger can get hot during operation, install in an area with minimum person traffic to decrease possible
contact with hot charger.
Make sure the status display on the charger is visible to the user.
Put the DC cord through the center of the steering wheel to remind you to put the cord away when finished with the
charger. You can damage the DC plug if you drive over or catch the cord on the vehicle when you drive away.
To decrease the risk of electrical shock or electrocution, make sure that the charger plug is not
damaged and is correctly connected to a grounded outlet.
The power AC cord has a plug with a ground post. Do not remove, cut or bend the ground post.
The charger DC cord has a polarized connector which fits into a receptacle on the vehicle.
If the vehicle is charged with a charger different from the one supplied with the vehicle, refer to the instructions sup-
plied with the charger used.
