charging. Never charge a frozen battery. Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions

such as recommended rates of charge and removing or not removing cell caps while charging.

Portable chargers must be mounted on a platform above the ground or in such a manner as to

permit the maximum air flow underneath and around the charger.

Portable chargers are shipped with the vehicles. Prior to vehicle or charger operation, the charger

must be removed

and mounted on a platform or wall above the ground to permit maximum air flow around and underneath the charger.

A

dedicated circuit is required for the charger. Refer to the charger manual for appropriate circuit protection. For

optimum performance and shortest charge times, place the charger in an area with adequate ventilation. The charger

should also be placed in an area that will be relatively free of dirt, mud, or dust since accumulations within the fins of the

charger will reduce their heat-dissipating qualities. Optimal cooling also occurs when the charger is placed on a

horizontal surface with the fins vertical. More airflow from below the charger will help cool the fins, so placement above

open areas or areas with cut-outs for airflow is desirable. If the charger is operated in an outdoor location, rain and sun

protection must be provided. The charger may get hot during operation and must be placed such that risk of contact by

people is reduced. The charger may be mounted on a wall or shelf using #10-M5 screws. The charger’s status display

must be visible to the user.
