Error Conditions:
1) A
RED
light for each bank is lit if any of the following apply:
a) No battery is connected to an output cord. This may also indicate a blown fuse in the fuse holder.
b) The battery is connected reverse polarity.
c) A short circuit.
d) The battery voltage is below 4 volts. The bank will not charge a battery in this condition. (see note below)
e) The battery voltage is above 18 volts. The bank will not charge a battery in this condition.
2) A flashing
RED
light is lit for each bank if there is a damaged temperature sensor on the output cord. The bank will not operate if
this occurs.
3) Flashing
RED
and
GREEN
lights are lit for each bank if any of the following apply:
a) The battery voltage does not rise above 10.5V after 3 hours. The battery may be damaged and will not be charged.
b) Charging in Bulk Mode exceeds 20 hours. The battery may be damaged and will not be charged
INLINE FUSE:
Each output cord has inline fuses on the RED and BLACK leads located near the ring terminals. These fuses serve as protection from surges
and short circuits caused by a damaged charger output cable. If a fuse blows, replace it with the exact type and rating of the original fuse.
Improper battery connections will normally not cause a fuse to blow since this is handled by the chargers internal circuitry.
8. MAINTENANCE / CLEANING / STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Check battery charger for dirt, oil, battery corrosion, etc. Use a water and baking soda solution for cleaning corrosion. Wipe clean using a dry
cloth.
Check ring terminals for dirt, oil, and battery corrosion; then disconnect from battery posts and clean as necessary with water and baking soda
solution and dry with a clean cloth.
When the charger is not in use, coil the power cord to prevent damage.
If power cord or plug becomes damaged, you may contact the Minn Kota Service Repair Department for service repair information. Otherwise, dispose
of the battery charger in compliance with local law. Damaged cords and plugs can cause electric shock or electrocution.
When storing the battery charger, store in a clean dry area.
CAUTION
– Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
NOTE
– This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE
– A 12 volt battery with an open-circuit voltage below 4 volts has either been discharged to the point of internal damage, may be heavily
sulfated, or may have internal shorted cells. Attempting to charge a battery in this state is dangerous. The battery should be replaced.
CAUTION
– If a RED light is lit, disconnect the AC power from the charger immediately. Determine the reason based on the above information
and take the necessary corrective action to remedy the situation. If you are unable to remedy the situation and need help, call the Minn Kota
Service Department at 1-800-227-6433 and a technical support representative will be happy to assist you.
CAUTION
– We recommend that you not recharge your battery, (or batteries), with the watercraft or motor lower unit in the water during electrical
storms. Severe damage to the motor or charging system may occur if lightning strikes nearby or if storm related high voltage conditions exist.
CAUTION
– Generators with a modified square wave output can damage this MINN KOTA charger. Generators with a sine wave output can be
used to power this charger.
WARNING
– TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
