IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (Cont.)
13. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION -To reduce
the risk of electrical shock use only a properly grounded outlet. The
charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-ground-
ing conductor and a grounding plug. Be sure that the outlet is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
14. DANGER - Never alter the AC cord or plug. If it will not fit in the out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in risk of an electric shock.
15. The Rapid charger 120 Vac line cord has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks
like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch 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.
16. DANGER - Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain the center
screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The green-color 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 outlet
cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or
lug to outlet plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.
