CHARGER RECEPTACLE
See General Warnings on page 1-1.
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them for cracks,
loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger plug or receptacle
show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts and plug terminals should be
cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner or lightly sprayed with WD-40
®
brand spray lubricant. The plug should
then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact.
