1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
General
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for marine unit MultiPlus.
CAUTION
– To reduce risk of injury, charge only VRLA or Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the marine unit manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Do not disassemble marine unit; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug marine unit from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME
BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT IN THE VICINITY OF THE BATTERY, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any unit you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
i.
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
ii. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
iii. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
iv. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 min and get medical attention immediately.
v. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
vi. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion.
vii. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A
lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
viii. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
ix. If necessary to remove battery from vessel, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in
the vessels are off, so as not to cause an arc.
x. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated.
xi. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
xii. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
xiii. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive
gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
MARINE UNIT LOCATION
i.
Locate marine unit away from battery in a separate, well ventilated compartment.
ii. Never place marine unit directly above battery; gases from battery will corrode and damage marine unit.
iii. Never allow battery acid to drip on marine unit when reading gravity or filling battery.
