Before Using Your Battery Charger
It is important to understand your charger's requirements. This section will tell you about your charger's electrical
requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.
Plugging it in
Your charger should be grounded to reduce the risk
of electrical shock.
Your charger is equipped with an electrical cord that has
an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug
designed to be used on a 120 volt circuit, The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances,
A TEMPORARY adapter may be used to connect the
charger to atwo-pole outlet if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. Use the adapter ONLY until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician,
DANGER: Before using an adapter as illustrated, be
certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is
grounded. The green colored grounding clip of the
adapter must be attached by a screw to aproperly
grounded outlet. If unsure whether outlet is properly
grounded, contact a professional electrician. If
necessary, replace the original outlet cover screw with a
longer one that will secure the grounding clip to the
outlet cover and make a ground connection to the
grounded outlet.
