• Connect BHFB Chargers to a grounded power receptacle that is wired in compli
ance with local electrical codes.
Side mounted batteries will require the insertion of a lead post adapter. Plain bolts
are not safe. They will not allow for accurate reading and should not be used.
• DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have pro-
per outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a
risk of an electric shock.
