Section 4
LIVING QUARTERS, LP and ELECTRICAL
ALWAYS SHIELD YOUR EYES WHEN WORKING NEAR BATTERIES.
BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE. DO NOTSMOKE OR EXPOSE BATTERY TO ELECTRIC
SPARK OR FLAME. WHEN CHARGING OR DISCHARGING, BATTERIES GENERATE
HYDROGEN. HYDROGEN AND AIR IS A VERY EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE.
DO NOT SHORT ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINALS. THE SPARK COULD
IGNITE THE GASES. DO NOT WEAR METAL JEWELRY OR A WATCH WHEN WORKING
ON A BATTERY.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE 110 VOLT POWER CORD
BEFORE WORKING ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. DO NOT RECONNECT THE CABLES
UNTIL ALL WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS A CORROSIVE, POISONOUS, SULFURIC
ACID. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES, CLOTHING OR ANY PAINTED SURFACE.
Battery Charging
The power converter also operates as a battery charger when it is connected to an appropriate 50 amp
(VAC) RV type properly grounded power source. If the batteries are below its full charge, the power
converter will begin operation at a rate that reflects the level of discharge. When the batteries are fully
charged, the power converter charger drops its charging level back to a maintenance level to maintain the
batteries. When removing a battery or batteries from your Aviator for charging with an off-board battery
charger, refer to the instructions provided with that battery charger. You may want to follow these safety
precautions:
1. Disconnect the battery or batteries from your Aviator.
2. Check electrolyte status before charging. Be sure each cell is properly filled with distilled water.
3. Use care when connecting and disconnecting the cables from chargers. A poor connection can cause an
electrical arc which can result in an explosion.
4. Remove the battery vent caps before charging and be sure that the electrolyte solution does not splash
out, as a result of charging too quickly.
5. Read the literature supplied by the battery manufacturer and follows all their warnings or precautions
as stated in their manual or literature
.
WARNING’ INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
