THE CHARGE CIRCUIT
The charge circuit in the vehicle consists of the charger receptacle, receptacle fuse link, and the batteries.
The negative terminal of the receptacle is connected to the No. 6 battery by a 10 gauge white wire, and the
positive terminal of the receptacle is connected to the fuse link. A wire from the receptacle fuse link connects
to a post on the forward and reverse switch where it joins a 6 gauge red wire from the No. 1 battery.
If the a charger operates properly with one vehicle, but will not operate properly with another, check this path
to be sure that the receptacle fuse link is not blown and that all connections, including battery connections,
are clean and tight (Figure 23-4).
CHARGER INSTALLATION AND USE
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be capable of supplying at least 15 amperes to
each charger.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an
AC electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. It is for use on a nom-
inal 120 volt, 60 hertz circuit. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
FIGURE 23-4
• EACH CHARGER SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN 15 OR 20 AMPERE BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
(CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE), IN ACORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
ANSI/NFPA 70, AND LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. IMPROPER AC SUPPLY CIRCUIT PRO-
TECTION MAY RESULT IN A FIRE.
