Chargers; On-Board Charger - Cushman AC TUG Owner's Manual

O
PERATION
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery charging process. A 4% concentration of
hydrogen gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death. Charging must take place in an area that is
adequately ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, never smoke around or
charge batteries in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that could cause an electrical arc.
Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of batteries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.
Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation. Five
air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum requirement.
Never charge a vehicle in a hazardous area or area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural
gas or propane gas water heaters and furnaces.
Before a new vehicle is put
into operation, the items
shown in the chart shown to
the right must be performed.

CHARGERS

Both off board and on board chargers should be operated in accordance with the charger manufacturer's instructions.
On board charger is standard equipment on this vehicle, if a no charger or off board charger option has been selected
be sure to retain and follow the operation instructions supplied with the charger. Always place the off board charger
outside of the vehicle before and during the charging cycle. Never charge batteries in a hazardous environment.

ON-BOARD CHARGER

Risk of electric shock. Connect the charger power cord to an outlet that has been properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. A grounded outlet is required to reduce risk of
electric shock – do not use ground adapters or modify the plug. Do not touch an uninsulated battery terminal.
Do not open or disassemble the charger. Do not operate charger if the AC supply cord is damaged or if the
charger has received a sharp blow, or otherwise damaged in any way – refer all repair work to qualified per-
sonnel. Not for use by children.
To prevent a physical hazard that could result in an electrical shock or electrocution, be sure that the charger
plug is not damaged and is inserted fully into a grounded receptacle.
The power (AC) cord is equipped with a grounded plug. Do not attempt to pull out, cut or bend the ground
post.
