5.3 MAIN BREAKER
The main function of the Fantail 217 breaker is to protect the motor and the accessories, including the bilge pump and the navigation and cockpit
lights, from electrical overload. To make a comparison with the computer world, we can say that the main breaker acts as a firewall, and protects the
vital elements from overloading and burning out.
The breaker allows the operator to cut the energy to the motor. Your motor will not operate if the motor breaker switch is in the OFF mode.
5.4
IGNITION SWITCH
Your Fantail 217 comes equipped with 1 ignition key that work like most other conventional propulsion systems. Insert the ignition key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the right. Your engine is then fed with electricity. The battery power level indicator will turn on automatically.
If the battery power level indicator does not turn on, consult the appropriate section of the Fantail 217 manual for the possible causes. Make sure that
the Main Breaker is in the "ON" position.
5. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR ELECTRIC BOAT
DEFFECTIVE POWER LEVEL INDICATOR
If your battery power level indicator is defective, contact your nearest CEBC representative as soon as possible. We do not recommend
using your Fantail 217 without a completely functional battery power level indicator. You risk becoming stranded in the middle of a
body of water without power.
CAUTION
BREAKER SWITCHES AND MOTOR BREAKER
Always turn the motor breaker switches OFF after docking your boat. Always make
sure that the motor breaker switches are on the ON mode when you go out on the
water. Please check your bilge pump and the navigation lights. If pump doesn’t
work, have it fixed before leaving. If navigation lights don’t work, don’t venture
out at dark.
CAUTION
SPARE SET OF KEYS
Keep one set of keys in a safe place. Purchase a floating key chain to make sure
that you do not lose your ignition key in the water. If you lose both sets of ignition
keys, a new ignition switch will have to be installed. Your warranty does not cover
this type of mishap.
