B. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY

1. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection when

working with lead-acid batteries.

2. Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close

enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a

lead-acid battery.

3. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery

acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts

skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

4. Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid

particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters

your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for

at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,

necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid

battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current

high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a

severe burn.

6. Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the

battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery

or another electrical device. Sparking may cause an explosion.

7. Always operate battery charger in an open, well- ventilated

area.

8. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the

battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.

9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

WARNING: EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL

COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD ELEC-

TRICAL REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART1).

C. PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. If necessary to remove battery from boat or vehicle to charge,

always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make

sure all accessories in the boat or vehicle are off, so as not

to cause an arc.

2. Clean battery terminals. Take care to keep corrosion from

coming in contact with your eyes.

3. If required, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid

reaches levels specified by battery manufacturer. This helps

purge excess gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery

without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging

instructions.

4. Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions, such

as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and

recommended rates of charge.

5. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is

being charged. Using a piece of cardboard or other non-

metallic material as a fan can forcefully blow gas away.

NOTE: Not for use with “eye” type batteries.

D. CHARGER LOCATION

For best operation, the charger should be mounted vertically to

the bulkhead. If the unit must be mounted horizontally, do not

restrict the airflow under the charger. Do not mount the charger

next to fuel tanks or below the waterline of the boat. The charger

is waterproof and is approved for mounting on the weatherdeck.

To allow for proper air circulation, a minimum of four inches of

unobstructed area must be permitted on all sides of the charger.

The charger is equipped with an internal thermocouple. Choos-

ing a location that will have the same surrounding temperature

as the battery(ies) is ideal and will allow for the charger to com-

pensate the current according to the initial temperature.

Chose a location such that the six-foot cables can reach the

battery(ies). If extra length is needed, bring the ring lugs to a

terminal block and extend with a minimum of 14AWG cables.

Choose larger wire for extended runs.

The charger weight is substantial. Ensure that the mounting sur-

face is strong enough to support the charger. Choose a location

that will allow for all six mounting holes to be used. Mounting

with nuts, bolts and lock washers is preferable to screws.

Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged;

gases may harm the charger over time. Never allow acid to drip

on the charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.

Do not set a battery or any other object on top of charger.

E. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The charger may be permanently mounted and connected. Six

mounting holes have been provided for secure installation. Choose

a location for the charger (see “CHARGER LOCATION” for proper

placement). Using the charger as a template, place the charger

in the selected location and mark each of the six holes with a

pencil. In a well ventilated environment, drill the six holes using a

#9 (7/32”) drill bit for use with nuts and bolts OR with a 5/32” drill

bit for use with #10 self tapping screws. Take caution of the area

on the other side that you are drilling to avoid drilling into wires or

other components. Using #10 bolts, nuts and lockwashers, mount

the charger with the LEDs facing up on a flat vertical surface to

allow for ventilation. Route the AC and DC cords to either end

and avoid pinching them under the base. A sealant may be used

to waterproof the screw holes.

NOTE: Mounting the charger horizontally may not allow excess

heat to rise away from the charger; if the charger must be mounted

horizontally, take care to ensure there is a four inch minimum

clearance around all sides of charger to provide adequate venti-

lation.

NOTE: This charger has an internal thermocouple. If the unit gets

too hot, the current will be reduced to allow the charger to cool to

normal operating temperatures and restart. If the unit does not

cool, the charger will temporarily shut off until normal tempera-

tures are obtained.
