WARNING
Before using a battery other than that which was installed at the caravan dealership,
consult with the battery manufacturer for a detailed description of the installation,
uses and maintenance of the battery. Verify that the type and capacity of the battery
or batteries used are compatible for use with the J35.
CONNECTING A BATTERY TO THE J35
To connect a battery to the J35:
1.
Power off all loads connected to the J35. The simplest way is with the switch
connected to the J35 Load Isolation input.
2.
Turn off and remove all power sources (mains/solar/AUX) to the J35.
3.
Connect the battery’s positive (red) terminal to the J35 Batt+ connection
point.
4.
Connect the battery’s negative (black) terminal to the J35 Batt- connection
point.
It is recommended that a 40A fuse is installed as close as possible to the
battery’s positive terminal to protect against short-circuits and reversed battery
connections.
WARNING
Sparks have the potential to cause an explosion should combustible gases be
present. The following procedures are designed to minimise the risk of spark
generation when connecting or disconnecting the battery. The positive terminal of
the battery must not be connected to the chassis.
