BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, please make sure
that you follow these guidelines:
Make sure that the pins on charger's
power cord fit firmly into the extension
cord, and that the extension cord fits
firmly into the receptacle.
Check that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
Make sure that the wire size is large
enough for its length and for the AC
ampere rating, as specified in the
chart below.
