SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Connect POSITIVE (RED) output terminal to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) output terminal to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of battery.
c) Do not face battery when making final connection.
d) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure.
e) A marine (boat) battery does not need to be removed and charged on shore. However, instructions must be followed for location of
charger when permanently mounted or used on board.
18. DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
19. DANGER - Do not attempt to repair or service the charger yourself. Opening the charger may expose you to high voltages, the risk
of electric shock, and other hazards.
20. DANGER - Do not splice the AC power cord.
21. CAUTION - 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.
22. CAUTION - 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.
23. CAUTION - 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.
