DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS unless absolutely necessary.
Using an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and
electric shock and may result in property damage, personal injury
or death. If extension cord must be used, make sure that:
1.) The pins on the extension cord plug have the same number,
size, and shape as those of the AC power cord plug on the
charger.
2.) The extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical
condition.
3.) The wire size is as specified in Table 1 below:

*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than amperes,
the corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the
wattage rating by the voltage rating - for example:
1250 watts/125 volts = 10
amperes
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service facility
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will
not reduce this risk.

REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART I)
