RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Working in the vicinity

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS — The Charger shall
be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The Charger is equipped with an electric cord

mains outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER — Do not alter the AC cord or plug
provided — If it does not fit in the AC mains
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection increases the risk
of an electric shock. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the genuine REDARC part
available from the manufacturer or service agent.

sparks and other sources of ignition. This may
cause the battery to explode.
