•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 110 -
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical out-
let (for example, do not use an elec-
tric 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 equipment could cause the
Li-ion battery to not charge correctly
and may damage the vehicle.
Precautions on storage
• Do not store the EVSE and Genuine NISSAN Adapter in a place exposed to
direct sunlight.
• Do not store the EVSE and Genuine NISSAN Adapter in a place exposed to
wind or rain.
• Be sure to store the EVSE with the protec- tive cap on to keep the terminal of the
charge connector away from dirt and
dust.
• Do not store the EVSE with the cable and/or cord wound around the control
box.
• Do not store the EVSE in a condition in which the cable and/or cord are twisted.
• The control box will become hot while the EVSE is charging. This is not a
malfunction.

–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 outlet
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
vehicle safely. If the capacity of
the outlet and circuit is not
enough, wiring may cause over-
heating 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 equipment 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.
• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to wind or rain.
• Be sure to store the EVSE with the protec- tive cap on to keep the terminal of the
charge connector away from dirt and
