7. AC INPUT
This charger must be connected to a single-phase nominal 120 Vac, 60 Hz AC power source with a voltage of
110 Vac to 132 Vac (charge times increase at lower AC voltages). The frequency must be 57 Hz to 63 Hz.
Circuit breaker or fuse protection for the AC outlet to which the charger is connected should allow 15A per
charger. Do not overload an electrical outlet.
This charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. It is equipped with an AC cable with an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding-type connector. The connector 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 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.
