CHARGER GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THE FREEFLEX BATTERY CHARGER MUST BE GROUNDED. If the charger should malfunction
or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current,
thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped
with a ground plug will void the warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability
associated with the unit.
WARNING
The FreeFlex battery charger is for use on a nominal 120V, 60Hz circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that the charger
is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. A temporary adaptor
that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code.
This battery charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the battery charger by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the battery charger.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service person if you are
unsure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the charger. If it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
