Extension Cords
WARNING: Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

When an extension cord is used, make sure that:
• the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as
those in the charger,
• the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
and
• the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
Outdoor use extension cords: When the unit is charged outdoors,
use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
