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.
