or a similar aftermarket battery charger. Using the wrong type of charging procedure or improperly
charging a battery can result in an explosion and/or re that could lead to serious injury or death.
An unexpected or strong odor can be the rst sign of leakage. Both exhaust and
fuel leaks have distinctive odors and should never be ignored. If either is present, do
not start the engine until the source of the odor has been determined and corrected.
Because gasoline is highly ammable and vapors are more
dangerous than the actual liquid fuel, never introduce
ame, spark or electrical ignition into an unknown source
of a fuel emission or leak. Always verify the source of and
correct any leakages prior to use of the boat.

the engine
As before starting, an unexpected or strong odor can be the rst sign of leakage.
Both exhaust and fuel leaks have distinctive odors and should never be ignored.
If either is present, do not start the engine until the source of the odor has been
determined and corrected.
Because gasoline is highly ammable and vapors are more
dangerous than the actual liquid fuel, never introduce
ame, spark or electrical ignition into an unknown source
of a fuel emission or leak. Always verify the source of and correct any leakages prior to use
of the boat.
Depending on the model, battery voltage and fuel levels are registered either on a gauge
or on the video screen. (See Dashes and Video Screen information elsewhere in this
Owner’s Manual for details.)
In verifying the battery charge, look for a reading around 13 volts, but no lower
than 10.5 volts or higher than 14.5 volts. Erratic readings are usually a sign of low
voltage or loose connection(s). Even if the reading appears correct, if there were
any symptoms of voltage insuiciency or error during a previous outing, check with
an authorized Axis dealer before undertaking another outing. You do not want to
become stranded with a dead battery away from the dock.
The current boat models are equipped with a low-voltage alarm. Even with a fully
charged battery on-board, it is possible to discharge so much that the boat becomes
disabled. If running the stereo components with the engine OFF, periodically check
the voltage reading to ascertain how much has been discharged. To avoid diiculties
in re-starting the engine, the system will shut o the stereo and sound an alarm
if the voltage level falls below 10.5 volts. The alarm will continue for approximately two (2)
minutes to allow everyone out of the water around the transom, and the boat operator to restart
