CHARGER INSTALLATION AND USE

The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be capable of supplying at least 15 amperes to
each charger.
WARNING
• EACH CHARGER SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN 15 OR 20 AMPERE BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
(CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE), IN ACORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
ANSI/NFPA 70, AND LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. IMPROPER AC SUPPLY CIRCUIT PRO-
TECTION MAY RESULT IN A FIRE.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this battery charger must be grounded. This charger is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. It is for use on a nominal
120 volt, 60 hertz circuit. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
The use of an extension cord with the charger is not recommended. If an extension cord must be used, use a
three-conductor No. 12 AWG cord with ground, properly wired and in good electrical condition. Keep it as
short as possible (no more than twelve feet). Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress. See WARNING at the top of page 23-31.
