broken insulation, or any other signs of
damage.
-Do not use this equipment if the
enclosure or the EV connector is broken,
cracked, open, or shows any other
indication of damage.
-Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if
there is doubt that the product is
properly grounded.

Before Installation
Safety Check
-Check the exterior packaging for
signs of mishandling and ensure the
equipment was not damaged during
shipping.
-Before connecting the product to the
power supply, check that the power
supply voltage and current rating
corresponds with the power supply
details shown on the product rating
label.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Disconnect the power supply before installing
or repairing the charging station. Disconnect
the power supply before installing or repairing
the charging station. Exposure to live wires
may result in physical injury or damage to the
power supply system and the charging station.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Keep all packing materials away from
children. These materials present a risk of
injury (e.g. suffocation).
Do not use extension cords with this
equipment.
THE CHARGING STATION MUST BE
INSTALLED ONLY BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF THE LOCAL INDUSTRY
CONSTRUCTIN AND SHOULD COMPLY
WITH NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND
STANDARDS.
Before installing the charging station, make
sure you have read all instructions in this
guide and fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when
