External Charger Mounting

EXTERNAL CHARGER MOUNTING
WARNING
• Make sure the charger is securely mounted. Do not hang the charger by its handle.
• Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
CAUTION
• Do not mount the charger in exceptionally hot locations, such as on a tin exterior wall with southern or
western exposure, with chargers stacked together and especially with heatsinks next to each other, etc.
• Charger must not be subjected to water spray.
Use the mounting holes to secure the charger (Figure 15-3). Position the charger so that is has adequate ventilation
and the charger status indicator panel is visible. The charger can be mounted in any orientation (right-side up, upside
down, etc.) provided the cooling fins are unobstructed it has adequate ventilation (Figure 15-4).
To help ensure optimal charge times, mount the charger in an area where ambient temperatures during charging
remain below 104 °F (40 °C). See Thermal Cutback on page 15-4.

When installing charger, incorporate a "drip loop" in the AC cord to prevent water from running down the cord and into
the AC cord receptacle on the charger (Figure 15-5, Page 15-9).
