BATTERY CHARGING – A.C. CONNECTIONS
1. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug illustrated. The charger must be grounded
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle
(outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
2. Never alter the A.C. cord or plug provided – if it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An
improper connection can result in a risk of an
electric shock or electrocution.
3. NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of
an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to
be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for example:
1200 watts/120 volts = 10 amperes
of an adapter plug in the United States is not
recommended.
