Figure 7-1: Grounding Methods
(NOTE: Use of an adapter as shown in Figures B and C is NOT permitted in Canada)
Use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of a fire and electrical shock. If an extension cord is needed, use a three-conductor, No. 14 AWG (or larger)
cord that is grounded, properly wired, and in good electrical condition, and keep the cord as short as possible.
Make sure that the pins on the connector of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those
on the AC connector on the charger. Locate all extension cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
The charger includes an AC input circuit breaker to protect the charger and the system.
8. DC OUTPUT
Only charge battery packs with cell counts (CELLS) and DC voltages (DC VOLTS) equal to those listed on the
ratings label on the back of the charger.
The DC output cordset includes a commonly-used connector/plug. The polarity of the charger connector/plug
must be the same as the battery connector/receptacle. The “-” marked (BLACK) DC cable must be connected to
the battery negative (-), and the “+” marked (WHITE)
DC cable must be connected to the battery positive (+). The
charger will not operate if the polarity is reversed.
8.1 ROUND MOLDED 3-PIN PLUG
If the DC cordset includes the round molded 3-pin plug for use with Club Car ® vehicles, it is important to
understand that this charger is intended for use with vehicles without an onboard computer (OBC). If the
charger is connected to a vehicle with an onboard computer, the charger will not start a charge cycle.
In addition to the battery negative (-) and battery positive (+) pins, this plug includes a third pin. This third pin
is connected to battery negative (-) inside the charger. It can be used with an optional external relay that can
be installed in the vehicle to provide lockout/interlock functionality.

8.2 DC OUTPUT FUSE
The DC output fuse is a fast-acting fuse used to protect the charger and the system.
USE ONLY THE CORRECT SIZE IDENTICAL TYPE REPLACEMENT FUSES. FUSES ARE AVAILABLE
FROM A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
