SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
f. Follow these steps when battery is outside boat or vehicle. A spark near battery may cause battery explosion. To reduce the
risk of a spark near battery:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post is usually larger in diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Connect POSITIVE (RED) output terminal to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
3. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) output terminal to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of battery.
4. Do not face battery when making fi nal connection.
5. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC power cord from electric outlet fi rst.
6. When disconnecting output terminals from battery posts, always do so in reverse sequence of the connecting procedure.
7. A marine (boat) battery does not need to be removed and charged on shore. However, instructions must be followed for
location of charger when permanently mounted or used on board.
AC POWER CORD CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
The Minn Kota battery charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electric AC
power cord. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fi t outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
CAUTION – To reduce risk of fi re or electric shock, connect battery charger directly to grounding receptacle (three-prong). An
adapter should not be used with battery charger.
CAUTION - Due to the higher charging current of the Minn Kota charger it is recommended that you check with the battery
manufacturer's maximum recommended charger current before connecting multiple charger outputs to 1 battery.
