NOTICE
Trolling Motor Charging System
(Option)
If equipped, the trolling motor battery charging unit is
mounted inside the console and the receptacle is located
on the starboard side of the console.
The charger should be used ONLY on lead acid
or gel cell type batteries. Use on other battery
types may explode and cause personal injury.
WARNING
!
Personal Safety Precautions:
• Another person should be within close range
in order to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap on hand
in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or
eyes.
• Wear complete eye and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near a
battery.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
them immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters the eye, fl ood the eye with cold, running
water for at least ten minutes and get medical
attention.
• Never smoke or allow a fl ame in the vicinity
of the battery.
• Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It may
spark, short circuit the battery and may cause
an
explosion.
• Remove all personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
near a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce
short circuit currents high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES!
WARNING
!
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal operation. Therefore it is of the
utmost importance that each time your charger
is used you follow the instructions exactly.
Charging the Batteries:
• DO NOT operate the charger if the cables or
an LED is damaged.
• Make sure all accessories connected to the
batteries are OFF.
• If the battery or batteries must be removed,
always remove the grounded terminal from
the
battery
fi rst.
• Be sure the area around the battery is well
ventilated while the battery is being charged.
If necessary, use a piece of cardboard or other
non-metallic material as a “hand-fan”.
• Clean battery cable.
• If necessary, add distilled water in each
cell until the level reaches that specifi ed by
the battery manufacturer. DO NOT OVERFILL.
For batteries without cell caps, follow the
manufacturers recharging instructions.
• Never allow the terminals to touch each
other.
