APPENDIX
A: EXTENSION CORD WARNINGS
* Use polarized extension cords.
* Replace cracked or worn extension cords with new.
* Insert plugs fully so that no part of the prongs are exposed when the extension cord is in use.
* When disconnecting cords, pull the plug rather than the cord itself.
* Teach children not to play with plugs and outlets.
* Use only three-wire extension cords with three-prong plugs. Never remove the third (round or U-shaped) prong,
which is a safety feature designed to reduce the risk of shock and electrocution.
* Check the plug and the body of the extension cord while the cord is in use. Noticeable warming of these plastic
parts is expected when cords are being used at their maximum rating, however, if the cord feels hot or if there is a
softening of the plastic, this is a warning that the plug wires or connections are failing and that the extension cord
should be discarded and replaced.
* Never use an extension cord while it is coiled or looped. Never cover any part of an extension cord with newspa-
pers, clothing, rugs, or any objects while the cord is in use. Never place an extension cord where it is likely to be dam-
aged by heavy furniture or foot traffic.
* Don't use staples or nails to attach extension cords to a baseboard or to another surface. This could damage the
cord and present a shock or fire hazard.
* Use special, heavy duty extension cords for the high wattage 1500W on-board charger.
* When charging outdoors, use only extension cords labeled for outdoor use.
