Care and Maintenance
The XC Series contains solid-state electronic components that require no
maintenance. The best care you can give the unit is to protect it from contact with
liquids, spray, or fumes which may cause corrosion. Disconnect all AC and DC
power and clean the outside of the case and wiring with a damp cloth if you suspect
it has come in contact with battery fluid, salt water, gasoline or oil, or other
corrosive material. Periodically, check all DC and AC wiring connections to be sure
they have not loosened or deteriorated. Also check all cable clamps to ensure they
are tightly fastened.
Loose battery terminals and lugs exposed to open air corrode rapidly. The corrosion
appears as a white powder or granular foam on the terminals and any nearby
exposed metal parts. If it contacts your skin, it will cause burns unless you rinse it
off immediately. Most textiles that are exposed to this corrosive eventually dissolve.
To clean battery terminals:
1.
Disconnect all loads and charging sources.
2.
Using the appropriate tool, remove the negative battery cable first and re-install
it last.
3.
To remove any stubborn residue, sprinkle baking soda directly on the area,
scrub with a wet toothbrush (or other soft-bristle brush), add water as required,
and then rinse.
4.
Reconnect the battery cable terminals to the battery lugs and tighten.
5.
After tightening the cables, evenly coat all the exposed metal surfaces of the
battery terminals and lugs with liquid neoprene. If liquid neoprene is not
available, use a light coating of anti-corrosion grease or other sealant. Do not let
anything come between the mating surfaces of the lugs and terminals.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
The XC Series contains no user serviceable components. Attempting any kind of service
will void your warranty. Contact your dealer or the manufacturer for service information.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow any washing solution to enter the battery filling caps in the case of a
flooded battery, as any contamination into a cell will chemically damage it.
