WARNING: Do not use a household extension cord if the charger plug does not
reach the 115 volt outlet. Use of an improper extension cord could
result in fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, use
a three conductor No. 16 AWG (or heavier) cord with ground, properly
wired, in good electrical condition, and keep it as short as possible.
WARNING: Do not use cords that are damaged or defective. Use of a damaged or
defective cord could result in fire or electric shock.
WARNING: Locate all battery charger cords so that they will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, do not touch uninsulated parts of the bat-
tery charger output connector, battery connectors, or battery terminals.
Ensure that all electrical connectors are in good working condition. Do
not use connectors that are cracked, corroded, or do not make adequate
electrical contact. Use of a damaged or defective connector could result
in fire or electric shock.
