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
Improper connection can result in
electrical shock.
Your charger requires a 120V receptacle
installed according to all local codes and
ordinances.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, please make sure
that you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure that the pins on charger's
power cord fit firmly into the extension
cord, and that the extension cord fits
firmly into the receptacle.
• Check that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Make sure that the wire size is large
enough for its length and for the AC
ampere rating as specified in the chart
below.
ASSEMBLING YOUR CHARGER
Included with your battery charger are
two cord wrap posts for storage of the
clamp cables.
To install, align the three tabs to
correspond with the three receptacles
and push until you hear a snap.
Wrap clamp cord after unplugging the
power cord and store your charger in a
dry location.
