Ac Electrical Connections; Plugging It In; Using An Extension Cord - Mäktig 710165 Owner's Manual


Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid
contacts your eyes, skin or clothing. If this happens, wash immediately
with soap and water then get medical attention.

Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.

Take care not to drop any metal tool or object onto the battery. This
may result in a spark or short circuit across the battery or another
electrical device that may cause an explosion.

Remove all personal metal items, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
and watches from your body while working with a lead-acid battery. A
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld such
objects to metal, causing a severe burn.

Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.

Never overcharge a battery.

Always operate the battery charger in an open, well-ventilated area.

3. AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

PLUGGING IT IN

Your charger requires a 3-pin, grounded 120 V AC electrical wall outlet
receptacle installed according to local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Never alter AC cord or plug provided. If it does not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
WARNING: Do not operate the charger if it has a damaged power cord
or plug. Have the cord replaced.

USING AN EXTENSION CORD

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord
must be used, follow these guidelines:

Make sure that the pins on the 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 of the charger, as specified in the chart below.
