NOTICE
If a 120 (220) volt battery charger is used, be
sure the neutral lead of the charger is isolated
from the ground or bonding circuit. Be sure the
battery charger is of the type which properly
senses battery requirements and does not over-
charge or cause the electrolyte to boil.

For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all of the current
ratings below by 2. Usually, the power requirement is
specified on the electrical item. This is only an ap-
proximation of the electric current usage normally experi-
enced.
