3.3 This NAPA Digital Wheel Charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding

plug that looks like the plug illustrated below (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapt-

er illustrated in (B) and (C), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in

(B), if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until

properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: BEFORE USING ADAPTER AS ILLUSTRATED, BE CERTAIN THAT CENTER

SCREW OF OUTLET PLATE IS GROUNDED. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from

adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet: make certain it is grounded. If neces-

sary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or

lug to cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.

USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING-TYPE RECEPTACLE

IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE THIS CHARGER UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED

BY A qUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
