ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Battery Selection

•

Battery is sold separately.

•

Use only UL recognized 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)

•

35Ah Maximum battery capacity.

Battery Care and Location

•

Use at least 12AWG wire, rated 90°C or better.

•

A 35Ah battery can be stored under the chassis of
the operator, behind the control board.

•

Ensure the battery terminals will maintain a 1/4”
spacing from all other circuits and metal parts.

• Do not dispose of the battery in fire. The cells may explode.

Check with local codes for possible disposal instructions.

•

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It
may be toxic if swallowed.

•

Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets
and keys.

•

CAUTION - A battery can present a risk of electrical shock,

burn from high short circuit current, fire or explosion from

vented gasses. Observe proper precautions.

•

Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery
and charging circuit.

Solar Panel Selection

•

Solar panel(s) are sold separately.

•

Use only UL Listed 12V solar panel(s), such as Viking part #s:

Wattage

Viking Part#

Open-Circuit

Voltage
