Before connecting your batteries or applying AC power, read all instructions and cautionary

markings on the battery charger, cables, and batteries.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Lead-acid type rechargeable batteries;

Flooded (Lead-acid), Sealed (Lead-acid) and Gel (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid). Other

types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury.

Use of attachments not recommended or sold by ProMariner may result in a risk of fire,

electrical shock or personal injury.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATES COAST

GUARD ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART 1).

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, been dropped

or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not install if any protective AC and DC cable insulation,

DC fuse holders and/or ring terminals have been damaged or compromised.

Call ProMariner for repair service to avoid risk of fire, short circuits or electrical shock.

Do not disassemble the battery charger. If service or repair is required please contact customer

care at 800.824.0524. Incorrect reassembly or cable modifications may result in a risk of

electrical shock, fire or explosion.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove AC power from the charger prior to any

maintenance or cleaning.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE

GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE

THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

- Make your AC power connection in an open atmosphere free of explosive fumes.

- Make your AC power connection in a secure manner that will avoid contact with water.

Personal Safety Precautions

a) Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid

when working near a Lead-acid battery.

b) Have plenty of soap and water nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin,

clothes, or eyes.

c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery(s).

d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid

enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get

medical attention immediately.

e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.

f) Incorrect assembly or modification may result in risk of electrical shock, fire, or explosion.

g) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark

or short-circuit a battery or other electrical hardware which may cause an explosion or fire.

SAFETY

General Safety

h) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and jewelry

when working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to

weld a ring or any other metal, causing serious burns.

Not intended to supply low voltage electrical systems other than in a marine application

. Do not

use your marine battery charger to charge dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home

appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and property. Never charge

a frozen battery.

Safety Precautions Prior To Charging Batteries

If necessary to remove a battery from a boat to charge, always remove the grounded

negative terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the boat are off,

as to not cause an arc. Be sure the area around the charger and batteries is well ventilated

while the batteries are being charged. Gases can be forcefully blown away using a piece of

cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.

Clean battery terminals with full eye protection to prevent corrosive material from coming in contact

with eyes.

For flooded batteries add distilled water in each cell until electrolyte reaches levels specified

by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gases from cells. Do not overfill. For

batteries without caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.

Study all manufacturer’s specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps

while charging, in addition to battery type for proper rate of charge.

Extension cords should be industrial grade / heavy duty UL approved and grounded. Check

extension cord before use for damage, bent prongs, and cuts. Replace if damaged. Always make

your extension cord connection on the charger side first. After connecting the extension cord

to the charger proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.

Always remove the extension cord from the 120 VAC outlet first when charging is

completed followed by unplugging the charger, completely disconnecting

IMPORTANT NOTICE: FCC CLASS A PART 15 NOTIFICATION

Your On-Board Marine Battery Charger has been designed and tested to comply with FCC Class A

part 15. These regulations are to provide adequate protection against harmful interference while

operated in a commercial application. If in a residential setting, you are encountering interference

with TV and radio reception, simply remove AC power from the ProMariner unit to confirm if your

battery charger is causing interference. End user can explore the following to minimize interference:

1) Chose a different AC circuit to power your On-Board Marine Battery Charger.

2) Make sure your outlet is properly grounded.

3) Re-position receiving antenna.

4) Purchase a separate AC line filter.

5) Relocate charger so that it is at the furthest point from home receiving equipment,TV, radio, etc.
