SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT
•
IMPORTANT:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord for a full 40
hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the built-in AC charger or the supplied DC charging adapter (may be sold separately).
• All Power switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF
position before connection to a power source or load.
EXTENSION CORDS:
WARNING:
Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. When using an extension cord,
make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger; and be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
