Specific Safety Instructions for Power Cords

• Don't abuse the cord. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Never carry the apparatus by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than cord when unplugging the unit.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

Never alter AC Power Cord or plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.

Extension Cords

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Recommended Minimum AWG Size for Extension Cords for Battery Chargers

POWER CORD SAFETY

The battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the plug illustrated in Figures B and C may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Before using an adapter as shown in the following illustration, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet – make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to a grounded outlet.
