Chaparral 2012 H2O Series, Руководство владельца/оператора

Страница: 38 / 98

The battery installed in your boat by your Chaparral dealer supplies
your boat with DC current for lights, engine starting, and acces-
sories. When the engine is running, the alternator supplies the
power needed to keep the batteries charged. Lights and acces-
sories draw power from the batteries.
On/Off Switch with One Battery
This switch has two positions:
OFF Power supplied to automatic bilge pump and stereo memory.
ON Power supplied to entire boat
To start engine, place switch to ON position. Power is now supplied
to your boat from the battery. Then start engine. Leave switch in this
position to fully recharge battery.
Note: If engine is off and you are using boat accessories, you
need to start your engine occasionally to allow engine alterna-
tor to fully recharge battery. Otherwise you may drain battery
and you will not have enough power to start engine.
General Electrical System Information
Electrical panel wire connections may possibly loosen over time.
Chaparral recommends having your dealer check these connections
at least annually, or if you are having any electrical system problem.
Due to potential electrical shock hazard, do not attempt this service
procedure yourself.
Your dealer is trained to properly diagnose and
correct electrical problems safely.
Lighting
Lighting operates off the 12 volt DC system. Turn lights on or off at
the dash. See your Chaparral dealer for information regarding bulb
replacement.
FUEL SYSTEM
The internal fuel system on your Chaparral boat meets all current
Federal requirements.
Fuel lines, filters, and all fuel system components should be
checked at the start of each season and periodically thereafter, par-
ticularly after any work has been done aboard the boat which might
have affected any part of the system. Be certain that all are in
proper condition and that the entire system is fuel tight.
The fuel tank is located to the port side of the engine compartment .
The fuel tank fill is located on the outside deck.
The fuel tank vent allows air to escape as the tank is being filled and
helps equalize tank pressure as temperatures change. The tank has
an anti-siphon valve which keeps fuel from leaking into the boat in
case of fuel line breaks.
Periodically, check the condition of the fuel tank components.
Note: The fuel fill cap has a built in tank ventilation feature. If
you should need to replace the cap, see your Chaparral dealer
for the exact cap to ensure proper fuel system operation.
Fuel Recommendations
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine per-
formance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean and free of
contamination. Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever
possible. This will reduce the amount of water condensation and
reduce the possibility of contamination.
