4.2
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: BEFORE USING AN ADAPTER AS ILLUSTRATED, BE CERTAIN THAT THE
CENTER SCREW OF THE OUTLET PLATE IS GROUNDED. THE GREEN-COLORED
RIGID EAR OR LUG EXTENDING FROM THE ADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET— MAKE CERTAIN IT IS GROUNDED. IF NECESSARY,
REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OUTLET COVER PLATE SCREW WITH A LONGER SCREW
THAT WILL SECURE THE ADAPTER EAR OR LUG TO THE COVER PLATE AND MAKE
THE GROUND CONNECTION TO THE GROUNDED OUTLET.
