WARNING
Do not leave cable unconnected. If it acci-
dentally contacts the NEGATIVE (-) termi-

circuit. Electric system damage and a fire
could result.
2. Check the battery’s charge. If your boat
is equipped with the digital speedometer, the
voltmeter and low battery alert functions will
help you monitor the battery’s charge. If the
battery needs charg- ing, consult your Hidea
dealer.
