7 - ELECTRIC SYSTEM 206
CAUTION
In case of contact with the batteries electrolyte wash contaminated part
with fresh water for at least 15 minutes and ask for a doctor.
CAUTION
Remove the bracelets, rings and any other jewellery before working on
the batteries.
CAUTION
It is necessary to keep the batteries charged at all times and to recharge
them periodically even when the yacht is left unattended. If the charge
level drops to a minimum, it may be irreparably damaged.
CAUTION
Monitor the voltage of the engine and services batteries. During the
charging phase 29.1V can be reached, this is a temporary value, well tol-
erated, both by the batteries and by the battery charger. This value has to
be monitored and if this situation lasts for too long, the magneto-thermal
switches of the battery chargers must be disconnected.
CAUTION
Check the state of the batteries checking that there are no traces of electro-
lytic corrosion on the poles and terminals of the connections; in this case,
contact SERVICE and replace the elements that present the problem.
