A
TEMPORARY
adapter may be used to connect the
charger to a two-pole outlet if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. Use the adapter
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 grounding clip of the
adapter must be attached by a screw to a properly
grounded outlet. If unsure whether outlet is properly
grounded, contact a professional electrician. If neces-
sary, replace the original outlet cover screw with a
longer one that will secure the grounding clip to the
outlet cover and make a ground connection to the
grounded outlet.
Using an extension cord
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If
you must use an extension cord, please make sure
that you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the pins on the plug of the extension cord
are the same number, size, and shape as those of the
plug on the charger.
•
Use only 3-conductor (grounded) extension cord
when necessary.
• Check that the extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition.
• Use the recommemnded minumum AWG (American
Wire Gauge) to be sure that wire size is large enough
for the rating of the charger.
