CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE, DISCONNECT AC POWER
FROM THE CHARGER BEFORE INSTALLING OR REMOVING UNIT.
DANGER: NEVER ALTER THE AC POWER CORD OR PLUG PROVIDED. IF IT WILL NOT FIT AN
OUTLET, OBTAIN THE CORRECT CHARGER IEC AC CORDSET FOR THE OUTLET, OR HAVE A
PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
If an extension cord is necessary, it must be a 3-conductor, No. 12 AWG minimum, heavy-duty cord with
ground. It must also be in good electrical condition and as short as possible, 50 ft (15m) maximum. Make
sure that the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as the AC power
cord plug on the charger. The use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage, stress, or
accidentally disconnected.
CAUTION: VERIFY THAT THE AC POWER CORD IS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE IEC INLET AND
CANNOT BE PULLED LOOSE BEFORE USING THE CHARGER.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! CONNECT THE AC SUPPLY CORD DIRECTLY TO A
GROUNDED, 3-WIRE OUTLET. DO NOT TOUCH UNINSULATED PORTION OF DC OUTPUT TERMINALS
OR BATTERY TERMINALS. REPLACE DEFECTIVE CORDS, WIRES, OR CONNECTORS IMMEDIATELY.
6 DC OUTPUT
WARNING: LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GAS. CHARGE ONLY IN WELL
VENTILATED AREAS. TO PREVENT ARCING OR BURNING NEAR BATTERIES, DO NOT DISCONNECT
THE DC CHARGING CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERIES WHEN THE CHARGER IS OPERATING.
IF THE CHARGE CYCLE MUST BE INTERRUPTED, UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR(S) FROM THE BATTERIES. KEEP SPARKS, FLAME,
AND SMOKING MATERIALS AWAY FROM BATTERIES. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, DO NOT USE
THE CHARGER NEAR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
Only charge batteries of the same type, voltage, number of cells, and amp-hour capacities listed on the
charger ratings label.
The DC output cordset includes a commonly-used connector/plug. The polarity of the charger DC
connector/plug must be the same as the battery connector. The BLACK DC cable must be connected to the
battery negative (-), and the WHITE or RED DC cable must be connected to the battery positive (+). The
charger will not operate if the polarity is reversed.
7 VEHICLE LOCKOUT CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
The charger may be configured with an optional lockout/interlock control signal to prevent vehicle/equipment
operation while the charger is in use. If the charger was factory-configured for on-board use, the lockout
control signal will be active while AC power is applied to the charger. If the charger was factory-configured for
off-board use, the lockout control signal will be active while a valid battery is connected to the charger.
The lockout control wire will be pulled down to battery negative (-) when active. Two (2) lockout control options
exist. If you are uncertain of which one your charger includes, please contact your dealer.
