ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Gold Magic® Model 12E and 12-10
ELECTRICAL (This does not apply to 10M unit)
The motor, battery & charger operate on a 12 volt DC system. To remove the control cov-
er, gently pull on the Ny-latch fasteners on either side of the lid of the control box. The
battery wire is removed from the switch prior to shipping to avoid the unit being turned
on during transit. This wire is taped to the front of the battery. (The new battery is fully
charged). Attach the wire to the center spade of the switch. Leave the switch in the “off”
(center) position when not in use. Mover the switch up for “on” and down for “charge”.
BATTERY & CHARGER
The Gold Magic® has a built-in 110 volt AC/12 volt DC charger inside the control box.
Your battery should be fully charged when you receive it. To use the charger, attach any
extension cord to the prongs on the back of the control box and plug into 110 volt outlet.
Flip the toggle switch, on the outside of the control box, down to the charge position.
Eight to 12 hours will bring the battery back to full charge depending on how far the
battery has been discharged. Unlike Ni-cad batteries, our sealed gel-cell will reach full
charge from any point in its cycle.
WARNING! NEVER ATTACH A 110 VOLT AC CORD TO THE
GOLD MAGIC® WHILE THE UNIT IS IN WATER!!
Do Not Fully Discharge Battery.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH
YOUR AUTO ALTERNATOR.
SOLAR / DC CHARGER (optional)
Item # GM-6181
To connect the solar charger to the Gold Magic® remove the
“hole plug” that is located on the back of the control box.
Bring the pre-wired connector from inside the control box
through this hole and connect it to the solar charger.
The Gold Magic solar charger is always charging. The 7 watt
charger will add up to 10 hours per day of running time to
the Gold Magic®. The amount of charge will depend on the
amount of sun light, your latitude, longitude, the time of the
year and whether or not you keep the cell aimed at the sun.
This solar cell will produce some charge even under articial
light or cloudy days.
You can also use this connector to attach other 12 volt DC
sources to charge the battery when AC is not available for
the built-in charger. If you use this feature with a source
providing more than 750 mA do not leave it connected for
prolonged periods of time as this may result in the battery being overcharged.
