GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
a. The ChargePro
™
1.5 should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. ChargePro
™
1.5
is equipped with an electric cord having in equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into
a 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER
Never alter AC cord or plug provided - If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
b. The ChargePro
™
1.5 is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in figure B 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 GFCI protected outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER
Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded.
The green-colored rigid ear or leg extending from adapter must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate
screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make
ground connection to grounded GFCI protected outlet.
Use of an adapter is not allowed in Canada. If a grounding type receptacle is not available,
do not use this appliance until the proper GFCI protected outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.
