Replacing the Charger
Replace only with Snorkel parts department charger to ensure compatibility with all machine
systems. Make sure the charger is unplugged before replacing and be careful tools do not
short battery connections which can cause electric sparks. Ensure connections are the same
as the original charger with wires connected by a qualified person (see tag on AC cord):
AC Ground – green with yellow stripe
AC Neutral – light blue
AC Line (Hot) – brown
DC Battery Negative (-) - black
DC Battery Positive (+) - red
Make sure all connections are clean and tight to provide a good electrical connection. Check all
machine operating systems after replacement to ensure proper operation (see manual).
WARNING: Disconnect from AC voltage before doing any service. When
plugged-in the AC wiring is an electric shock hazard. Disconnecting the DC output
wires near the batteries when the charger is ON may cause arcing and the batteries to
explode resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Risk of an electric shock causing serious injury or death. Do not
touch un-insulated parts of the charger wires, battery connector or battery terminals.
Be careful with tools as shock or arcing from shorting of electrical parts can cause
serious injury or death. Remove rings, watches, and jewelry to avoid arcing and
WARNING: Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to a factory-authorized
service agent when service or repair is required. High voltages inside the charger are
an electric shock hazard and can result in serious injury or death.
