CHARGER GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THE GOFREE BATTERY CHARGER MUST BE GROUNDED. If the charger should malfunction
or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby
reducing the risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropri-
ate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground
plug will void the warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with
the unit.
WARNING
The GoFree battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code.
For Canada – This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that
the charger is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adap-
tor should be used with the chargers detailed in this manual.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure that
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the charger. If it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
