Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service facility
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY
WITH THE UNITED STATED COAST GUARD ELECTRICAL
REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART I)
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS unless absolutely
necessary. Using an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock and may result in property damage,
personal injury or death. If extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
1.) The pins on the extension cord plug have the same number,
size, and shape as those of the AC power cord plug on the
charger.
2.) The extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical
condition.
3.) The wire size is as specified in Table 1 below:

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than
amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by
dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for example:
