GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
BATTERY CHARGER
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment–
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the charger. If outlet is not
suitable for safe use; have a properly grounded outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Always use a properly grounded 3-wire extension cord, which
has male and female plugs. If 25 feet [7.6m] extension cords
are used, the electrical carrying capacity should be no less
than 14-3 ST., 50 feet [15.2m] extension cords no less than
12-3 ST
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This charger shall be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The charger is provided with a
three-conductor cord and a three-contact grounding type
attachment plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The green
conductor in the cord is the ground wire. Never connect this
wire to other than the grounding pin of the attachment plug.
Check nameplate on the charger to be sure voltage and cycle
stated is the same as the electrical outlet. Do not attempt to
plug a 120-volt charger into a 240-volt outlet or a 240-volt
charger into a 120-volt outlet. If the cord provided with the
charger has an attachment plug as shown in Figure A. below, it
is intended for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. If a properly
grounded receptacle as shown in Figure A is not available, an
