7. Do not use the battery charger unless the battery recommended charge voltage matches the
output voltage rating of the charger.
8. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by EnerSys
®
Energy Products Inc may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
9. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when

b. Use an industrial grade / heavy duty UL or CSA approved extension cord. Check
extension cord before use for damage, bent prongs, and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Always make your extension cord connection on the charger side first. After connecting
the extension cord to the charger proceed to plug the extension cord into a nearby 120
VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Below are manufacturer
recommendations for the right size UL or CSA Approved grounded extension cord.
i. Up to 50 feet in length use a 18 AWG extension cord.
ii. 50 to 100 feet in length use a 16 AWG extension cord.
iii. 100 to 150 feet in length use a 14 AWG extension cord.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
a. Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with
an electric cord having in equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Never alter AC cord or plug provided - If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
b. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks
like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-
pole receptacle as shown in Figure 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.
DANGER
Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded.
The green-colored rigid ear or leg extending from adapter must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover
plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and
make ground connection to grounded outlet.
Use of an adapter is not allowed in Canada. If a grounding type receptacle is not available,
do not use this appliance until the proper outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.
