BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER

It is important to understand your charger's requirements. This section will tell you
about your charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for
charging.

ASSEMBLING YOUR CHARGER

Included with your battery charger are two
cord wrap cleats for storage of the clamp
cables.
To install, align the three tabs to corre-
spond with the three receptacles and push
until you hear a snap.
Wrap clamp cables after unplugging the
power cord and store your charger in a
dry location.

PLUGGING IT IN

Your charger requires a 120V AC
receptacle installed according to all
local codes and ordinances.

USING AN EXTENSION CORD

The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, please make sure
that you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure that the pins on charger's
power cord fit firmly into the extension
cord, and that the extension cord fits
firmly into the receptacle.
• Check that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Make sure that the wire size is large
enough for its length and for the AC
ampere rating, as specified in the
chart below.
