  size of 16 AWG or heavier.

Know the Hazards

  TROUBLE SHOOTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

• A red light means something is wrong with the charger.

  Try plugging the charger in a second time. If the red light

  still comes on, unplug the charger and notify your

  supervisor.
• A yellow light means the charger is working.
• A green light means charging is finished. Unplug the

  extension cord. The vehicle is ready to use.
• If none of the lights come on, the charger is not getting

  power. Make sure the AC outlet is working and the

  extension cord is OK.

BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS

They produce fumes that can explode. They also

contain acid that can burn or disfigure you.
• Don’t service any batteries unless you are trained

  and authorized.
• Never smoke or use open flames around batteries.
• Use protection such as gloves, eye shields, etc.
• Do battery work in a safe area provided by

  your company.
