STANDARD CHARGE RECEPTACLE
NOTE
The standard charge receptacle is not compatible with J1772.
The following information applies to use
of the standard charge receptacle. See
page 39 for information that applies to
the use of the fast charge receptacle.
When charging the vehicle, always use
a standard 3-wire grounded extension
cord of one of the following types:
• 12-gauge wire with 3-wire grounded, 50 feet (15.25 m) or shorter.
• 14-gauge wire with 3-wire grounded, 25 feet (7.6 m) or shorter.
Always follow these precautions when charging:
• Position the vehicle on a level surface. Make sure the charging area is well
ventilated.
• Make sure the key is off.
• Always use the recommended extension cord type.
• Inspect the extension cord for cracks, loose connections and frayed wiring.
Never use a damaged extension cord.
• Always connect the charging cord to the vehicle’s charge receptacle first, then
plug the cord into a wall receptacle.
TIP
A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) receptacle is recommended. See your
authorized GEM dealer if you do not have a GFI receptacle at your regular
recharge site.
• Make sure the charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading. If
charging multiple vehicles, each vehicle should use a dedicated circuit.
• When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the extension cord from
the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the cord from the vehicle.
