Axis Wake Research A20 - Batteries; Electrical Components

BASIC ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
 All major boat circuits are protected from shorng and overload by reseable circuit breakers. If a
problemdevelopswithoneofthecircuits,switchOFFthecircuitandwaitaboutone(1)minute.Thenpush
theappropriatebreakerbuonfullytoresetthecircuit.If the circuit connues to trip, there is a problem
somewhere in the system. TakeyourboattoanauthorizedAxisdealertolocateandsafelycorrecttheissue.
If a circuit breaker continues to trip, do not hold the breaker
in position to activate the electrical circuit. See an authorized
Axis dealer immediately to locate and correct the issue before
operating the boat.
Thecircuitbreakerpanelislocatedbeneaththeinstrumentpanel.Circuitbreakersarepreferrablein
mostinstancesbecausetheyarereseable,unlikefusesthatrequirereplacement.
 BecauseoftheelectricalrequirementstomaketheAxisboatanenjoyableexperience,allmodelsare
equippedwith two(2) baeries.The baeriesarelocatedbeneaththe observerseatinall models.The
baeryON-OFFswitchislocatedonapanelalsobeneaththeobserverseat.Itwillbeeasilyvisibleonthe
paneladjacenttothewalk-thruwall.
 Therearefourmarkingsontheknob:
• OFF
 •1
 •1+2
 •2
 OFFmeansthatallpowertothebaeryisshutdown.The
baerywillnotbeabletore-chargewhileintheOFFposion.
This is the appropriate seng for periods of inacvity with
the boat, unless the boat is in the water. When the boat
remainsinthewater,itwillbenecessaryforthebilgepumps
toperiodicallyandautomacallypumpoutresidualwaterin
thebilgesystem.Thisistopreventswampingoftheboatand
potenalsinking.Bearinmindthatinorderforthesystemto
work,itwilldrainthebaery,andeventuallycausethebaery
torun outof charge.Therefore,under thesecircumstances,
the boat should be started and the engine run for a sucient me to allow the voltmeter reading to
returntothedesiredrangeaboveatleast13.5volts.Howoenandhowlongtheengineshouldberunto
rechargethebaerywillvarydependingonthetype,brandandageofthebaeries.Theboatownershould
frequentlyrechargethebaeryunldeterminingtheapproximatemeperiodinwhichthebaeryretains
sucientchargetooperatethebilgesystem,andalsotostarttheengine.
If the baery has insucient charge, use only a baery charger to recharge the baery, or remove
the baery and take it to an authorized Axis dealer or auto parts store that has the appropriate facilies
to safely recharge the baery.
 Iftheboatisoutofthewaterand/orinstorage,OFFisthesengforthebaeryswitch.
