After connecting the extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the
extension cord into a nearby 240 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Below are manufacturer suggestions for the right size UL or CSA Approved
grounded extension cord.
i. Up to 50 feet in length use a 3 conductor 18 AWG extension cord.
ii. 50 to 100 feet in length use a 3 conductor 16 AWG extension cord.
iii. 100 to 150 feet in length use a 3 conductor 14 AWG extension cord.
Stop operating the charger immediately if any protective AC and DC cable
insulation, DC fuse holders or ring terminals have been damaged or compro-
mised. Contact the manufacturer to return the charger for service and repair.
For contact information, please see the Warranty section.
