User’s Manual 

Mount charger by setting it on a shelf, wall mount with keyhole, or hang securely from ceiling by the handle. 
Do not hang charger upside down. 
 
Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and that there is adequate ventilation.

 

 

7.  AC INPUT 

 
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger and 
must be capable of supplying sufficient current.  

See the Specifications Section. 

 

With  charger  DC  output  cord  disconnected,  connect  the  power  supply  cord  to  an  AC  supply.   

See  the 

Specifications Section. 
 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded.  The charger is equipped with an AC 
electric cord  with an equipment-grounding conductor  and  a  grounding type  plug.  It  is for use  on  a  nominal 120 
volt, 60 hertz circuit.  The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and 
grounded  in  accordance  with  the  National  Electric  Code  and  all  local  codes  and  ordinances.    The  use  of  an 
extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor no. 
12  AWG  (American  Wire  Gauge)  or  no.  14  SWG  (British  Standard  Wire  Gauge),  heavy  duty  cord  with  ground, 
properly wired and in good electrical condition.  Keep it as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 meters)). 
Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subject to damage or stress 
 

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  a  yellow  stripe(s),  is  the 
equipment-grounding  conductor.    If  repair  or  replacement  of  the  AC  cable  or  connector  is  necessary,  do  not 
connect  the  equipment-grounding  conductor  to  a  live  terminal.    Contact  your  dealer.    This  charger  is  equipped 
with  a  grounding  connector  as  illustrated  in  Figure  7-1  A,  for  use  on  a  nominal  120  Vac,  60  Hz  circuit.    A 
temporary  adapter,  as  illustrated  in  Figures  7-1  B  and  C,  may  be  used  to  plug  this  connector  into  a  two-pole 
receptacle as shown  in Figure 7-1  C if a  properly grounded outlet is not available (NOTE: use of an adapter as 
shown in Figures 7-1 B and C is NOT permitted in Canada). 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. 

 

Figure 7-1: Grounding Methods 

(NOTE: Use of an adapter as shown in Figures B and C is NOT permitted in Canada) 

 
The charger includes an AC input circuit breaker.
