DANGER
• BATTERIES EMIT HYDROGEN WHILE BEING CHARGED. HYDROGEN IS AN EXPLOSIVE
GAS. IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A WEATHERPROOF ENCLOSURE, IT SHOULD
BE UNZIPPED AND PULLED BACK WHILE BATTERIES ARE BEING CHARGED. THIS IS TO
AVOID THE ACCUMULATION OF HYDROGEN GAS INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.
• THE CHARGING AREA MUST BE VENTILATED. HYDROGEN LEVEL IN THE AIR MUST
NEVER EXCEED 2%. THE TOTAL VOLUME OF AIR IN THE BUILDING MUST BE CHANGED
FIVE TIMES PER HOUR. EXHAUST FANS SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE HIGHEST POINT
OF THE ROOF. CONTACT A LOCAL HVAC ENGINEER.
WARNING
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THE CHARGER. CONTACT
YOUR NEAREST CLUB CAR DISTRIBUTOR/DEALER.
• EACH CHARGER SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN DEDICATED 15 OR 20 AMPERE SEPARATELY
PROTECTED (CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE) SINGLE PHASE BRANCH CIRCUIT, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES FOR THE LOCATION.
• CONNECT THE CHARGER AC SUPPLY CORD TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, THREE-WIRE
OUTLET OF THE PROPER VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY AS SHOWN ON THE CHARGER.
• DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER TO PLUG THE CHARGER WITH A THREE-PRONG PLUG INTO A
TWO-PRONG OUTLET. IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• AN EXTENSION CORD OR ELECTRICAL OUTLET MUST ACCEPT A THREE-PRONG PLUG.
EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE A THREE-WIRE NO. 12 AWG, AND BE AS SHORT AS
POSSIBLE. THE USE OF IMPROPER EXTENSION CORD COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER IF IT HAS RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, WAS DROPPED, OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
