Electrical System 

 

Battery Monitor 

 

 
The battery monitor shows how much power is left in your house battery.  
 
It shows when you 

must

 recharge your battery - just like a fuel gauge.  When your 

battery monitor shows 50 % it means you have consumed half of your batteries' 
capacity   
 
The batteries are most efficient when recharged before they pass this level 

 

Any  power  you  use  has  to  be  replaced  and  you  should  monitor  your  house  battery 
condition  to  ensure  it  is  kept  charged.    Heavy  power  consumption  will  require  you  to 
replace the power used by running your engine for longer periods. 
 

CD and Radio 

To  operate  turn  on  at  the  unit.  CD  player is compatible for  CDs in MP3 format  and 
has a connection for Ipod/MP3 players.
