Batteries
The battery system comprises one standard 75 Ah auxiliary batteries (plus 1 optional 75 Ah
battery) and one 75 Ah Ah battery for starting the engine.
Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and
correct charging of the batteries.
ATTENTION!
●
When installing new electrical appliances, take care that the total consumption of these
appliances remains within the capacity of your batteries.
●
Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.
●
Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc.) to bridge across the two battery terminals.
●
When handling batteries, keep them horizontal to avoid spillage of electrolyte. Wear gloves and
protective clothing that will prevent any risk of contact with electrolyte in the event of a leak.
●
If any electrolyte comes in contact with skin, eyes, etc., rinse the affected part of the body
thoroughly and consult a doctor.
Electric windlass
ATTENTION!
It is essential to run the engine with the throttle slightly open when using the electric windlass.
