Maintenance

 

56

 

followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.

Batteries also generate explosive hydro-
gen gas; therefore, you should always
follow these preventive measures:

 

 

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar-
ea.

 

 

Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (for example: welding
equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so
on.)

 

 

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC

 

FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

CAUTION:

 

ECM00360 

 

 

A poorly maintained battery will quickly
deteriorate.

 

 

Ordinary tap water contains minerals
harmful to a battery, and should not be

 

used for topping up.

 

1.

Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Fill to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended level when necessary. Top
up only with distilled water (or pure de-
ionized water suitable to use in batter-
ies).

2.

Always keep the battery in a good state

of charge. Installing a voltmeter will help
you monitor your battery. If you will not
use the boat for a month or more, re-
move the battery from the boat and store
it in a cool, dark place. Completely re-
charge the battery before using it.

3.

If the battery will be stored for longer
than a month, check the specific gravity
of the fluid at least once a month and re-
charge the battery when it is low.

NOTE:

 

Consult a Yamaha dealer when charging or

 

re-charging batteries.

 

EMU29351

 

Connecting the Battery

WARNING

 

EWM00570 

 

Mount the battery holder securely in a
dry, well-ventilated, vibration-free loca-
tion in the boat. Install a fully charged bat-

 

tery in the holder.

CAUTION:

 

ECM01121 

 

 

Make sure the main switch (on applica-
ble models) is “

” (off) before work-

ing on the battery.

 

 

Reversal of the battery cables will dam-
age the electrical parts.

 

 

Connect the red battery cable first
when installing the battery and discon-
nect the black battery cable first when
removing it. Otherwise, the electrical
parts can be damaged.

 

 

The electrical contacts of the battery
and cables must be clean and properly
connected, or the battery will not start

 

the engine.

 

Connect the RED lead to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal first. Then connect the BLACK lead
to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal.
