HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
(AC 220–240 volt) BY L1 & L2 EVSE

WARNING

Please be sure to follow the warnings
below. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury or death.

•

If you wear a pacemaker or an im-
plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), stay at least 6 in (15 cm)
away from the EVSE.

•

If you use a pacemaker or an Implant-
able Cardiovascular Defibrillator (ICD),
check with the electric medical device
manufacturer concerning the effects
that charging may have on implanted
devices before starting the charge
operation. Charging may affect the
operation.

•

In order to avoid an electric shock or
fire due to a short circuit, connect to a
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit
breaker and use a waterproof electri-
cal ground socket.

•

Discontinue EVSE use immediately if
plug or outlet becomes hot to the
touch or if you notice any unusual
odors.

•

Never use extension cords or plug
adapters with EVSE.

•

Never use plug adapters other than
the Genuine NISSAN Adapter for EVSE.

•

Always unplug the EVSE when not in
use.

•

The Genuine NISSAN L1 & L2 EVSE
draws 30 amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery with AC
220–240 volt outlet. Do not plug in to
any electrical circuit unless it is in-
spected by a licensed electrician to
confirm that the electrical circuit can
accept a 30 amp draw. Any electrical
circuit has a much higher likelihood
of being compromised in the follow-
ing conditions listed below.

–

Improper use of the EVSE may re-

sult in a fire and serious injury or
death.

–

Do not use the EVSE in structures

more than 40 years old.

–

Do not use the EVSE in structures

using fuse-based circuit protec-
tion. Use only with electrical circuits
protected by circuit breakers.

–

Do not use the EVSE on electrical

circuits with two-prong outlets.

–

Do not use the EVSE if other de-

vices are plugged into the same
circuit.

–

When unplugging, be sure to pull

by the plug and not the cord.

–

Do not pull, twist, bend, step on or

drag the cable.

–

If you use the EVSE holder, handle

it with care to avoid injuries due
to contact with its edges or other
parts.

–

Do not use the EVSE if the cable or

cord is frayed, has broken insula-
tion, or shows any other indica-
tions of damage.

–

Stop using the EVSE immediately

if charging stops before comple-
tion when you move the plug or
the cord.

CH-26

Charging

–

Do not use the EVSE if the control

box, plug, the EVSE or charge con-
nector is broken, cracked, open,
corroded or shows any other indi-
cations of damage.

–

Do not use the EVSE if the plug has

a loose connection with the out-
let or if the outlet is damaged or
rusted.

–

Before you connect the EVSE, be

sure to check the rated current
shown on the EVSE to ensure that
the outlet and circuit have enough
current capacity to charge your ve-
hicle safely. If the capacity of the
outlet and circuit is not enough,
wiring may cause overheating or a
fire.

–

If in any doubt about the outlet

and circuit, consult a qualified
electrician.

–

The EVSE has parts that may

spark inside. Do not use it where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liq-
uids are used or stored.

–

Do not use if a malfunction occurs

or if the EVSE has been damaged
in any manner. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for replacement.

–

The EVSE contains no user ser-

viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the EVSE, doing so will void
your warranty.

•

Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
case securely through the fastener
on the bottom of the luggage board.
If the case suddenly becomes loose,
it may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

•

Only charge using a standard AC 220
- 240 volt, 50A dedicated electrical
outlet (for example, do not use an
electric generator). Failure to do so
may cause charging to fail and could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
EVSE due to power surges.

•

NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN charging equipment to charge
the vehicle. Using non-NISSAN equip-
ment could cause the Li-ion battery to
not charge correctly and may damage
the vehicle or the EVSE.

Precautions on storage

• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed

to direct sunlight.
