User’s Manual
DANGER:
• THE CHARGING AREA MUST BE VENTILATED. HYDROGEN LEVEL IN THE AIR MUST NEVER
EXCEED 2%. THE TOTAL VOLUME OF AIR IN THE CHARGING AREA MUST BE CHANGED FIVE
TIMES PER HOUR. EXHAUST FANS SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE
ROOF. CONTACT A LOCAL HVAC ENGINEER.
• DO NOT CHARGE THE VEHICLE BATTERIES WITH THE VEHICLE COVERED OR ENCLOSED. ANY
ENCLOSURE OR COVER SHOULD BE REMOVED OR UNZIPPED AND PULLED BACK WHEN
BATTERIES ARE BEING CHARGED. AN ACCUMULATION OF HYDROGEN GAS COULD RESULT
IN AN EXPLOSION.
WARNING:
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THE CHARGER.
• EACH CHARGER SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN DEDICATED 15 OR 20 AMPERE SEPARATELY
PROTECTED (CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE) SINGLE PHASE BRANCH CIRCUIT, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES FOR THE LOCATION.
• CONNECT THE CHARGER AC SUPPLY CORD TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, THREE-WIRE OUTLET
OF THE PROPER VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY AS SHOWN ON THE CHARGER.
• AN EXTENSION CORD OR ELECTRICAL OUTLET MUST ACCEPT A THREE-PRONG PLUG.
EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE A THREE-WIRE NO. 12 AWG (AMERICAN WIRE GAUGE) OR NO.
14 SWG (BRITISH STANDARD WIRE GAUGE), AND BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE. THE USE OF
IMPROPER EXTENSION CORD COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• PRIOR TO SERVICING THE CHARGER, DISCONNECT THE AC POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE
WALL OUTLET AND THE DC PLUG FROM THE VEHICLE CHARGER RECEPTACLE.
• WHEN THE CHARGER IS ON, THE CHARGER DC CORD MAY BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
VEHICLE RECEPTACLE SLOWLY. JERKING OR PULLING THE DC CORD OUT QUICKLY COULD
CAUSE ARCING AND BURNING THAT COULD DAMAGE THE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE AND
COULD CAUSE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE.
• DO NOT USE NEAR FUELS, GRAIN DUST, SOLVENTS, THINNERS, OR OTHER FLAMMABLES.
CHARGERS CAN IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.
• DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR ANY LIQUID. KEEP THE CHARGER DRY.
• NEVER PUSH OBJECTS OF ANY KIND INTO THE CHARGER THROUGH CABINET SLOTS. THEY
MAY TOUCH DANGEROUS VOLTAGE POINTS OR CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT THAT
COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE CHARGER TO BATTERY PACKS THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE
DC OUTPUT VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE CHARGER. OVERHEATING AND TRANSFORMER
BURNOUT WILL RESULT.
• DO NOT CONNECT A STATIONARY CHARGER TO THE RECEPTACLE IF THE CHARGER CORD,
PLUG, OR THE VEHICLE RECEPTACLE IS BROKEN, DAMAGED, OR DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. HAVE A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN REPLACE THE PARTS.
• DO NOT USE A BATTERY CHARGER IF THE CORD, PLUG, OR RECEPTACLE IS DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY. REPLACE WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS IMMEDIATELY. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER IF IT HAS RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, WAS DROPPED, OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
• HAVE WORN, CUT, OR DAMAGED POWER CORDS OR WIRES REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
• DO NOT BLOCK OR COVER THE CHARGER VENTILATION SLOTS. THE SLOTS PROVIDE
VENTILATION AND PREVENT THE CHARGER FROM OVERHEATING.
• DO NOT ALLOW CLOTHING, BLANKETS, OR OTHER MATERIAL TO COVER THE CHARGER.
• DO NOT ALLOW THE CHARGER TO OPERATE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AT 19 OR MORE
AMPERES.
• INSTALL SURGE ARRESTORS ON INCOMING AC POWER LINES. SURGE ARRESTORS WILL HELP
PROTECT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE CHARGER AND ON THE VEHICLE FROM ALL BUT
DIRECT OR CLOSE LIGHTENING STRIKES.
