ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

CHARGER RECEPTACLE

See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them
for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger
plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts
and plug terminals should be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner or lightly sprayed with WD-40®
brand spray lubricant. The plug should then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of inser-
tion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact.
