INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
Please take the following recommendations into consideration when locating a mounting location and installing the charger.

LOCATING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE CHARGER

1. Never place charger above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
2. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
3. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
4. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
5. Do not mount the charger below the waterline of the boat or directly adjacent to fuel tanks.
6. Each DC output cord is six feet long. Make sure that all DC output cords can reach the batteries and that the AC power cord can reach
a power source. When using an extension cord, make the AC connection to the charger outside of the battery compartment as far away
as practical to reduce the risk of a spark igniting gases in the compartment.
7. Do not shorten the DC output cords, as this can affect charger output. If the DC output cords are not long enough, they may be
lengthened by splicing and soldering 12 AWG (minimum) wire. Each splice should be covered with dual wall adhesive-lined heat
shrink tubing to protect the joint from corroding. The splice should be made between the fork in the output cable and the fuse holder.
The fuse holder should always remain within 7" of the battery terminals. The maximum extension length is 15 feet. You may contact
the Minn Kota Service Department with any questions.
Do not splice the AC power cord, as this voids the three year Limited Warranty.
8. Even though the Minn Kota charger is capable of operating in a high ambient temperature environment, a minimum of six inches of
unobstructed area should be allowed on all sides of the unit for proper air circulation and cooling. Proper cooling and circulation will
allow the charger to operate at peak efficiency.
