AC INPUT
This battery charger must be grounded to reduce the
risk of electric shock. It is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding-type plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE
GROUNDING PRONG FROM PLUG.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green, with or without yellow stripe(s),
is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding connector
to a live terminal. Refer to a qualified service agent.
This battery charger is equipped with a grounding
plug as illustrated in Figure A, for use on a nominal
120 volt, 60 Hertz circuit. A temporary adapter, as
illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown
in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid
ear extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
DANGER: BEFORE USING THE ADAPTER
AS ILLUSTRATED, BE CERTAIN THAT THE
CENTER SCREW OF THE OUTLET PLATE IS
GROUNDED.
GROUNDING METHODS
NOTE: Use of adapter shown in Figures B and C is
NOT permitted in Canada.
NORMAL OPERATION
The instructions printed on the charger are for
daily reference.
1. With the charger DC output cord disconnected
from the batteries, connect the power supply
cord to a 120 Volt, 60 Hertz outlet.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF AN
ELECTRIC SHOCK, CONNECT ONLY TO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED, SINGLE-PHASE
(3-WIRE) OUTLET. REFER TO GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BATTERY
PACK IS A SERIES CONNECTED LEAD-ACID
SYSTEM WITH A VOLTAGE AND CAPACITY
RATING AS SHOWN IN SPECIFICATION TABLE
ON PAGE ONE. THE FLOODED REPLACEABLE
ELECTROLYTE DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY
SETTING HAS AN ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF AT
LEAST 2.50 VOLTS PER CELL. THE VALVE
REGULATED GEL CELL OR SEALED DEEP-
CYCLE BATTERY SETTING CHARGES TO A
MAXIMUM ON-CHARGE VOLTAGE OF 2.38
VOLTS PER CELL. DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER
AND BATTERIES MAY RESULT IF THIS
CHARGER IS USED ON THE WRONG
BATTERIES.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO
NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PARTS OF THE
CHARGER OUTPUT CONNECTOR, BATTERY
CONNECTOR, OR BATTERY TERMINALS.
DANGER: VISUALLY AND MANUALLY
INSPECT TO VERIFY THAT THE DC OUTPUT
CORDSET, PLUG AND BATTERY CHARGING
RECEPTACLE ARE IN GOOD WORKING
CONDITION BEFORE EACH AND EVERY USE
AND DO NOT USE THE CHARGER IF:
•
The DC charging receptacle does not grip the
DC output plug tightly, is loose or does not make
a good electrical connection.
•
The DC output plug and/or charging receptacle
feel hotter than normal.
•
The DC output plug contacts or receptacle
contacts are bent, corroded or are dark or bluish
in appearance.
•
The DC output plug, cords, receptacle or
equipment charging wiring are cut, worn,
broken, or have any exposed conductors.
•
The DC output plug, cords, charger or
receptacles are damaged or distressed in any
