BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY
Warning: Do not use a household extension cord if the charger plug does not reach
the power outlet. Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, use a three conductor No. 16 AWG (or
heavier) cord with ground, properly wired, in good electrical condition, and keep it
as short as possible.
Warning: Do not use cords that are damaged or defective. Use of a damaged or de-
fective cord could result in fire or electric shock.
Warning: Locate all battery charger cords so that they will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Warning: To prevent electrical shock, do not touch uninsulated parts of the battery
charger output connector, battery connectors, or battery terminals. Ensure that all
electrical connectors are in good working condition. Do not use connectors that are
cracked, corroded, or do not make adequate electrical contact. Use of a damaged or
defective connector could result in fire or electric shock.
Warning: Ensure that area around battery charger and batteries is well ventilated
while batteries are being charged. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other material
to cover battery charger. Do not place under a bed.
Warning: Keep sparks, flame, and smoking materials away from batteries at all
times. No smoking!
Warning: Battery chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use
near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables.
Warning: Batteries generate gases which can be explosive. To prevent arcing or
burning near batteries, do not disconnect battery charger output connector from
wheelchair battery charger receptacle when battery charger is operating. If charge
cycle must be interrupted, move the battery charger ON/OFF switch to OFF and
disconnect the battery charger AC connector from power outlet, then disconnect
battery charger output connector from wheelchair battery charger receptacle.
Warning: To avoid damage to any of the battery charger connectors and their cords,
disconnect by grasping the plug body and pulling it straight out of the outlet or
receptacle. DO NOT pull on the cord. DO NOT twist, rock or pull the connector side-
ways.
