and General Charger Use
Risk of electric shock and fire.
• Before connecting power cord to outlet make sure
controls are set to OFF.
• Do not remove or bypass the grounding pin.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug. Replace cord or plug immediately.
• Position power cord and charger cables away from
the hood, doors or hot/moving engine parts where
they could be damaged.
• Use extension cord only when absolutely
necessary. An extension cord up to 25 feet must
be 18 AWG, up to 50 feet must be 14 AWG, up to
100 feet must be 12 AWG and up to 150 feet must
be 10 AWG and extension cord plug and charger

fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• Unplug power cord using plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger from outlet.
• Charger power cord uses equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Plug only into a
three-prong 120 VAC outlet that is correctly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
ordinances and local codes.

Figure 1.
• Unplug power cord from outlet before cleaning or
