AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
OPERATION
PLUGGING IT IN
According to local codes and ordinances, your charger requires the use of 120 Volt AC
electrical wall outlet receptacles.
WARNING:
Never alter AC cord or plug provided. If it does not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
WARNING:
Do not operate the charger if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Have
the cord replaced.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord must be used, follow
these guidelines:
Make sure that the pins on the charger’s power cord fit firmly into the extension cord
and that the extension cord fits firmly into the receptacle.
Check that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Make sure that the wire size is large enough for its length and for the AC ampere
rating of the charger, as specified in the chart below.
