GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
8.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and
8.1
has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated. The charger
must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must
fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
8.2
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does
not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An
improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE
:
Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada.
Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and should not be
used.

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the
corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the
voltage rating - for example:
1200 watts/120 volts = 10 amperes
