CAUTION:Neverexposebatterytoopenflameorelectricspark.Chemicalactiongenerates
hydrogenandoxygenwhichareflammableandexplosive.Don'tallowbatteryfluidto
contactskin,eyes,fabricsorpaintedsurfacesfluidisacorrosivesulfuricacid
solutionwhichcouldcauseseriouspersonalinjuryorpropertydamage.Flushany
contactedareawithwaterimmediatelyandthoroughly.Weareyeprotectionwhenworkingon
ornearbattery.Removerings,metalwatchbandsandothermetaljewelrybeforeworkingon
oraroundbattery.Becarefulinusingmetaltoolsandequipment.Ifsuchmetalshould
contactthepositivebatteryterminal(ormetalincontactwithit)andanyothermetalon
theboat,ashortcircuitmayoccurwhichcouldcausepersonalinjury.Batteriesand
batteryacidshouldalwaysbekeptoutofreachofchildren.

20:03SWITCHPANEL:Circuitsmaybeselectedindividuallyafterturningonthemain
breakerbyflippingtheappropriatetoggleswitchforthedesiredcircuit.Thisenables
youtoenergizeonlythosesystemsneeded.
Eachcircuitisprotectedbyafuseorcircuitbreakerlocatedinthepanel.Any
additionalaccessorycircuitsmustbeinstalledwithappropriatefusesorbatteriesand
notwireddirectlytothebattery.
21:00ELECTRICALSYSTEM110VOLTAC
The110voltACwiringsystemhasbeeninstalledtoprovideasafeanddependablesystem.
Therunningofwireshasbeencarefullyplannedtokeepthemunexposedwheneverpossible
andprotectedwhenexposedtochafingorwaterexposure.
21:02110VOLTAGEPOWER
:A50foot,30amp,ULListedcordissuppliedwiththeshore
poweroption.Itprovidesawatertightconnectiontotheboat.Alwayssecuredocking
linesinsuchafashionthatstrainwillnotbeappliedtothecordunderallconditions
oftideandseas.
21:03VOLTAGE
:Permanentdamagetomotorizedequipmentcanoccurifsubjectedto
hypercurrentswhichresultfromlowvoltage.Resistiveappliancessuchaslightbulbs
willhaveshorterlivesifexposedtoprolongedhigherthannormalvoltages.
Voltagefluctuations,especiallyseveredropsduringperiodsofhighdemand,arenot
uncommon.Thevoltmetergivesyoutheabilitytomonitorthevoltageonboard
continuously.
21:04POLARITY
:Appliancesrequiringacontinuousgroundorproperpolarityrelyon
thecorrectnessofthewiringineveryshorepowerconnectionyoumake.Improperwiring
oftheshoreoutletcanresultinequipmentdamageandispotentiallydangeroustoall
passengers.
ThepolarityindicatorshowswhenpolarityisreversedorthegroundisimproperintheAC
wiring.Agreenlightindicatesthatthehotwiresonboardarecarryingtheloadand
thatthegroundconnectionisworkingcorrectly.
Note:Itisrecommendedthatownersofearliermodelswithoutpolarityindicators,buya
smallpolaritycircuittestertocheckpolarityatthegalleyreceptaclebeforeplugging
inany110Vfixturesorappliances.
Referto110voltACwiringdiagraminthebackofthemanualforthewiringdiagramof
yourboat.
22:00LIGHTENINGPROTECTIONANDBONDINGSYSTEMS
AllSabreyachtsareequippedwithaheavydutylighteninggroundandbondingsystem
connectingallessentialequipmenttothekeelusing#8gaugestrandedcopperwire.
22:01BONDINGSYSTEM
:Thebondingsystemprovideslowresistancetoelectrical
connectionsofallunderwaterfittings,fuelfill,fueltankandenginetothekeel.This
