14. MOUNTING THE CHARGER - Due to the weight of the charger and the impact that boats routinely endure, take the time to
securely mount the charger to prevent damage. Mounting with nuts, bolts and washers is preferable to mounting with screws.
a) Charger was designed to be mounted in any orientation on the boat.
b) Use the largest diameter bolts possible and use all four mounting holes.
c) After marking the locations, set the charger aside and drill the holes.
d) Apply a marine grade silicone sealant in each of the drilled holes to create a waterproof seal.
e) Then secure the charger in place using the mounting hardware.
NOTE:
Your battery charger is supplied with an AC plug holder designed to hold the power cord plug when not in use.
Mount the AC plug holder with four screws in a convenient dry site to prevent corrosion to the AC plug and to prevent the
AC plug from making contact with the battery posts.
f) Make sure the charger is disconnected from ac power before connecting the batteries to the output cords.
g) Before making any connections to batteries in a confined space (such as a battery compartment of a boat), open the door
or hatch of the compartment and allow it to air out for 15 minutes. This allows any gasses that have accumulated in the
compartment to escape.
15. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output terminals only after removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow output terminals
to touch each other.
b) Attach output terminals to battery and chassis as indicated in 16(e), 16(f), and 17(b).
