GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION

Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER: Never alter AC cord or plug provided. If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal, 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in (A) below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in (B) and (C), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown
in (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.
DANGER: Before using adapter as illustrated, 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 original outlet cover
plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make
ground connection to grounded outlet.
