Need help?Do you have a question about the Ampair AQUAIR 100 and is the answer not in the manual?
Avoid sailing in shallow water; through coral or weed; or near nets, lines, traps, pots, and buoys.
Never connect without rectifiers. Ensure generator output goes to the battery side of the isolator switch.
Use appropriate fuses (10A for 12V, 5A for 24V) and double-check polarity.
Be aware of potential voltage rise when disconnecting a spinning generator.
Recommended to prevent battery overcharge damage when loads are absent.
Regularly inspect the system for smooth operation and use a safety line in water mode.
