The steering assembly has been provided with sound deadening
washers to minimize undesirable vibration. Over time you may need to
tighten the appropriate bolts to minimize vibrations.
5.Back of Unit
The battery compartments are separated from the center electronic
compartments and are vented independently due to battery
requirements.
The amplifier alcove has a protective
metal mesh vent cover (FIGURE 18).
The 120v power charging cord is
tucked into the sleeve on the bottom
right fender (FIGURE18). The cord

6.Transportation
When the Blastmaster XL is being transported in a vehicle the wheels
should be “Chocked” and unit secured as required to transport vehicle
for safe travel. It is your responsibility to provide safe, secure means
and methods of travel for this product as you assume all responsibility
for any damage to you, the unit, or your belongings caused during
transport.
The Blastmaster XL incorporates a “wagon “ style wheel, carriage and
steering assembly. Check your tires air pressure regularly for safe and
easy rolling operation. Follow pressure requirements as stamped on
the tires. While walking/ leading the Blastmaster XL from the transport
vehicle to your final use destination; uneven/ non-level ground can
create a hazard. Depending on the terrain that you are traversing, safe
transport practices may require the assistance of a second individual.
The Blastmaster XL if lifted should done so by two capable persons by
placing hands on bottom of unit cabinet box. OSHA safe lifting
practices shall be implemented when lifting the Blastmaster XL for any
purpose. Rolling up a ramp and or lifting the front then back onto a
receiver hitch carrier(optional accessory) are the recommended
transportation procedures. Never angle lift the unit greater than 30º.
Dead lifting of the unit is NOT recommended.
7. Batteries
It is important to maintain your battery charge level per the
manufacturer
ʼ
s instructions. The required model is a deep cycle AGM
sealed marine battery. It is your choice to purchase certain higher or
lower amp hour designations. The more amp hours the better as this
influences the battery run time. Have your local battery provider install
the battery or batteries into your unit. Using AGM style batteries size
34 will require from your battery supplier the complimentary series 24
tray size lift spacer. This is necessary for allowing the battery to be
secured within the battery tray, cross bar system. Batteries are a
dangerous electronic component that hold an electric charge that may
put you at risk to electric shock. Additionally, batteries contain harmful
acids and emit explosive gases. Follow all manufacturer
ʼ
s safe practice
requirements for your batteries.
This type of battery is designed to operate for numerous repeat
discharges. This type of battery however in its use emits
toxic/flammable fumes that must be ventilated from the storage
compartment. Vents are provided for this purpose and MUST not be
blocked. The batteries are a “non lifetime” consumable product. When
the batteries are not performing to intended levels their replacement
shall be done by a trained installer of the new batteries. The batteries
are to be installed in/ secured to specific trays provided. Any steep
tipping of the Blastmaster XL voids your warranty and may put you and
the Blastmaster XL at risk.
The batteries shall be secured with the overhead bolted clamp to the
tray. The rear vertical station is installed opposite of the front post. The
front post is actually to be installed upside down with the nut at the
bottom. This is due to limited access for installing the battery. Securely
tighten both posts to the cross strap.
Battery life of repeat operation is effected by how loud, how long, and
what type of music you play and outside temperature conditions.
Playing music with larger amounts of bass and/or at high volume levels
consume larger amounts of power.
Your Blastmaster XL should be recharged by a 120V source via the
integrated battery charger. It shall be known that any method of
charging takes time and that amount of time is dependent on the level
of battery depletion. The average charge ratio is approximately: (3)
hours charge time for one hour of playback time.
The battery charge Indicator is located on front of unit. The upper
round switch controls this gauge. Charge your unit after every use or at
least weekly; and while charging have the round upper toggle switch/
battery indicator gauge on for the gauge to calibrate percentage of
charge. This visual gauge shows the current status of your batteries
charge. This switch /gauge must be left on for at least (1) minute for an
accurate reading to be established. It is recommended for the
prolonged life of the batteries not to deplete the batteries below 35%
capacity in above freezing temperature conditions and not below 45%
in freezing conditions. The lower the temperature the greater the risk of
battery freezing. The amplifier will begin it
ʼ
s safety shut off mode when
battery voltage is too low- causing a clipping/ turning on/off of the
amplifier. This, in addition to the visual battery gauge, will tell you when
