Important Safety Instructions
14. 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 a 120/230 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) 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 GFCI protected 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 GFCI protected
outlet.
