Be sure to empty the ballast tanks prior loading the boat onto the trailer and removing the
boat from the water. Tanks MUST be empty prior to towing the boat as the additional weight can
cause damage to the trailer, tow vehicle and imbalance on the trailer that could affect safety, or
overload the trailer and cause damage that is not covered under warranty.
Water in the ballast tanks should always be pumped out prior to
removing the boat from the water. Never tow the boat on a trailer with
water in the ballast tanks; residual water can cause an imbalance that
alters the amount of weight on the trailer tongue. Without the proper
weight percentage forward, the tongue can become unstable and cause loss of control of the trailer and
tow vehicle. Additionally, attempting to tow your boat without the ballast tanks and/or bags emptied
can overload the trailer and cause damage that is not covered under warranty.
When emptying the ballast tanks, watch the outlets on both sides of the boat and aft,
depending on the model and number of outlets. (If you are uncertain, check with your authorized
Axis dealer for assistance in determining the bilge outlets from the ballast outlets.) Ballast
pumps will continue working as long as the controller is ON. Therefore, operators must ensure
that the pumping is turned OFF when the outlets show only a minute amount of water is coming
out. Leaving the pumps ON will result in pump damage.
If the boat is equipped with optional Plug ’n Play, Axis recommends rechecking that the rear
tanks are empty five minutes after starting the drain process. This verifies that no extra water
was left from Plug ’n Play and leaked into the hard tank.
Ballast pumps must be turned OFF after emptying the tanks. When
only a drizzle of water is coming from the outlets, manually turn OFF
the ballast pumps, via the toggle switch. Allowing the ballast pumps to
continue operating when there is no water to be pumped will result in
the internal components being permanently damaged, which is not covered under warranty.
Be sure to review the Ballast System information provided in the How It Works section of this
owner’s manual for more information.
Stereo operation information is provided by the manufacturer in a separate document.
