1. SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions applicable to the safe and efficient use of your Minn Kota battery charger.
The Minn Kota battery charger is a powerful electrical device. If incorrectly installed, configured or operated, the battery charger can damage bat-
teries and / or electrical equipment. Please read thoroughly the instructions and safety information contained in this manual before operating the
battery charger.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID AND PRODUCE
EXPLOSIVE GASES. A BATTERY EXPLOSION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF EYESIGHT OR SERIOUS BURNS. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS
OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BATTERY EXPLOSION, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THOSE PUBLISHED BY THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER FOR ANY EQUIPMENT YOU INTEND TO USE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BATTERY. REVIEW CAUTIONARY MARKINGS
ON THESE PRODUCTS AND ON ENGINE, MOTOR OR OTHER EQUIPMENT REQUIRING BATTERY USAGE.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Johnson Outdoors Inc. may result in risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons or property.
The charger is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the charger.
Do not operate the battery charger with a damaged cord.
Do not operate the battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce the risk of shock or spark, never touch the ring terminals together while the charger is in operation.
External connections to the battery charger shall comply with the United States Coast Guard electrical regulations (33CFR183, Sub Part 1).
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging your boat.
Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician.
2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Consider having someone close enough nearby to come to your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water
for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery, engine, motor or other flammable or explosive equipment.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause
explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld such items, causing severe burns.
Use charger for charging 12 Volt/6 Cell Lead-acid Batteries (Flooded, Maintenance Free, or AGM) and 12 Volt Lithium Batteries (check battery
manufacturer's specifications) only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
