Each electric vehicle is supplied with either a fully automatic, external, battery charger (Tourall and Resort Vil-
lager) or fully automatic on-board charger (Trans-Porter/Trans-Sender) as standard equipment. The AC cord
from the charger should be connected to a source capable of supplying 10 amperes minimum per charger.
The battery charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The charger is equipped with an
AC electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug and is for use on a
nominal 115 Volt 60 Hertz circuit, unless otherwise noted on the charger. The plug must be grounded to an
appropriate dedicated receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and all local codes and ordinances.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THE CHARGER IF IT HAS RECEIVED A SHARP BLOW, WAS DROPPED, OR
OTHERWISE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
•
NEVER PUSH OBJECTS OF ANY KIND INTO THE CHARGER THROUGH CABINET SLOTS.
THEY MAY TOUCH DANGEROUS VOLTAGE POINTS OR CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIR-
CUIT THAT COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
•
DO NOT CONNECT A STATIONARY CHARGER TO THE RECEPTACLE IF THE CHARGER
CORD, PLUG, OR THE VEHICLE RECEPTACLE IS BROKEN, DAMAGED, OR DOES NOT MAKE
A GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. HAVE A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN REPAIR OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS IMMEDIATELY.
•
WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL STATIONARY CHARGER, DO NOT PULL ON THE DC CORD
(FIG-
URE 34, PAGE 52)
. DO NOT TWIST, ROCK, OR BEND THE PLUG. TO DISCONNECT THE PLUG
FROM THE RECEPTACLE, GRASP THE PLUG,
NOT THE CORD
, AND PULL IT SLOWLY
STRAIGHT OUT OF THE RECEPTACLE
(FIGURE 33, PAGE 52)
.
•
WHEN THE CHARGER IS ON, THE CHARGER DC CORD MAY BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
VEHICLE RECEPTACLE
SLOWLY
. JERKING OR PULLING THE DC CORD OUT QUICKLY
COULD CAUSE ARCING AND BURNING WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE PLUG AND RECEPTA-
CLE AND COULD CAUSE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE.
• DO NOT USE A CHARGER IF:
-
THE PLUG IS TOO LOOSE OR DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION.
-
THE PLUG AND RECEPTACLE FEEL HOTTER THAN NORMAL DURING CHARGE.
-
THE PLUG PINS OR CONTACTS ARE BENT OR CORRODED.
-
THE PLUG, RECEPTACLE OR CORDS ARE CUT, WORN, HAVE ANY EXPOSED WIRES, OR
ARE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
• USING A CHARGER WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
•
DO NOT BLOCK OR COVER SLOTS AND OPENINGS IN THE BACK AND BOTTOM OF
CHARGER CABINET. THEY PROVIDE VENTILATION AND PROTECT THE CHARGER FROM
OVERHEATING.
•
DO NOT ALLOW CLOTHING, BLANKETS, OR OTHER MATERIAL TO COVER THE CHARGER.
•
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR THE CHARGER.
•
INSTALL SURGE ARRESTORS ON INCOMING AC POWER LINES. SURGE ARRESTORS WILL
HELP PROTECT ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE CHARGER AND ON THE
VEHICLE FROM ALL BUT DIRECT OR VERY CLOSE LIGHTNING STRIKES.
