OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If the charging station should malfunction grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charging station is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor could result in electric shock and injury. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt about whether the charging station is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the  charging station if it does fit the outlet. Contact a qualified electrician and have the correct outlet installed. For power safety have an overcurrent protector or circuit breaker at the outlet.
