SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
f) Do not mount the charger below the waterline of the boat or directly adjacent to fuel tanks.
g) 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.
h) Do not shorten the DC output cords, as this can affect charger output.
i) 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.
j) Do not splice the AC power cord, as this voids the three year Limited Warranty.
k) 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.
l) Keyhole slots are not to be used for installing the charger.
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.
NOTICE:
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 gases that have accumulated in the compartment
to escape.
