CHARGER LOCATION

4.1 Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
4.2 Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
4.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific
gravity or filling battery.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Connect and disconnect DC output connectors only after removing AC cord from
electric outlet.
5.2 Never connect the output cable assemblies together for use in other applications,
such as external battery or other power source charging, or to extend the output
cable length, as reverse polarity and/or overcharge conditions will occur.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

6.1 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do
not use with an ungrounded system.
6.2 DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed
in Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and
should not be used.
6.3 USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension
cord, follow these guidelines:
• Pins on plug of extension cord must be the same number, size, and shape as
those of plug on charger.
• Ensure that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• Wire size must be large enough for the AC ampere rating of charger, as specified:
