GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The Battery Charger Power Supply should be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical
current. This Battery Charger Power Supply is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electrical shock.
WARNING
Ground reliability can only be achieved when the power
cord is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked
"Hospital Grade".
