Connecting The Batteries - MINN KOTA RAPTOR Mode D'emploi

SELECTING THE CORRECT BATTERIES
The Raptor will operate with any lead acid, marine 12 volt battery. For best results, Minn Kota recommends connecting to the starting
battery. The Raptor may operate with a Lithium Ion battery. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery
power when you need it, and will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the
leading cause of premature battery failure. Use a multi-stage charger to avoid overcharging. We offer a wide selection of chargers to fit
your charging needs. For more information on battery selection and rigging, please visit minnkotamotors.com.
The Raptor draws a small amount of residual current from the battery even when not in use. If the Raptor will not be used for more
than a month, the Raptor power leads should be disconnected from the battery. Avoid connecting the Raptor to the same batteries
that a trolling motor or other accessories are connected to. It is recommended the Raptor be connected to the Starting Battery through
a battery selector or power disconnect switch. This will disconnect power to the Raptor when the Power Switch is "off". If you are not
using a battery selector/power disconnect switch, the Raptor may be connected directly to the Starting Battery.
Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the same battery together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the battery and
short the terminals. This would immediately lead to a short and extreme fire danger.
For proper ABYC compliance, when the factory fuse has been removed, the user must install a 30A fuse within 7" of the positive
battery terminal.
NOTICE:
The in-line re-settable 30A fuse is designed to protect the system. If this fuse repeatedly trips, faulty wiring could be
the cause and must be corrected. If the re-settable fuse itself is suspect, Minn Kota recommends contacting customer service for a
proper replacement.

CONNECTING THE BATTERIES

12 Volt Systems
1. If connecting to an optional battery selector/power disconnect switch, turn it to the "off" position prior to connecting the
power cable.
2. Connect positive ( + ) white lead to positive ( + ) battery terminal, or switch positive.
3. Connect negative ( – ) black lead to negative ( – ) battery terminal, or switch negative.
Observe proper polarity and follow instructions in your boat owner's manual regarding polarity.
4. The Pump Assembly will beep to indicate Power "on". There is NO "on/off" switch. To remove power from the Pump Assembly, the
Raptor must be powered "off" by removing the leads from the battery terminals, or switch.
Do not run the Hydraulic Pump until after hydraulic fluid has been added. Running the Hydraulic Pump without hydraulic fluid can
damage the pump.
