To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The
charger is equipped with an AC electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding type plug. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances. See the owner’s manual supplied
with the charger for specific operating instructions before using the charger.
The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord
must be used, use a three-conductor no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14
SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge), heavy-duty cord with ground, properly wired and
in good electrical condition. Keep it as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 m)).
Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to
dam-age or stress.
