General Safety Instructions

Before connecting your batteries or applying AC power, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the battery charger, cables, and batteries.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Lead-acid type rechargeable batteries;
Flooded (Lead-acid), Sealed (Lead-acid), GEL (Gelled Electrolyte Lead-acid) and AGM (Absorbed
Glass Mat). Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury. The ProSport is factory
set for standard Flooded (Lead-acid) /AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries.
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Professional Mariner, LLC may result
in a risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, been dropped
or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not install if any protective AC and DC cable
insulation, DC fuse holders and/or ring terminals have been damaged or compromised.
Call ProMariner for repair service to avoid risk of fire, short circuits or electrical shock.
Do not disassemble the battery charger. If service or repair is required please contact customer
care at 1-800-824-0524. Incorrect reassembly or cable modifications may result in a risk of electrical
shock, fire or explosion.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove AC power from the charger prior to any
maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON IT IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR
CHARGER YOU FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
- Make your AC power connection in an open atmosphere free of explosive fumes.
- Make your AC power connection in a secure manner that will avoid contact with water.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer,
and of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review all cautionary markings and labels.

Personal Safety Precautions

a) Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when working near a Lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of soap and water nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin,
clothes, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery(s).
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.

Trouble Shooting Guide

NO Blue AC Power LED or RED Charging & Battery Type LED
Check for loss of AC power at the 120VAC outlet. Confirm GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) has not tripped. Check with a meter or 120VAC test light
that AC power is present at the end or your extension cord.
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery and that all connections are clean and tight.
With the AC power removed and the engine off, check the charge level of each
battery with a DC meter or Handheld DC Tester. If there is no charge level indication
for a battery, check each battery with a hydrometer to determine if it has one or more
bad cells. (batteries should always be replaced in sets, and always the same type.)
If everything above checks out OK, contact ProMariner at 1-800-824-0524 from
8:30 am to 5pm Eastern Time. If your ProSport is within the warranty period of
2 years from the date of purchase, you can go to www.promariner.com where
you will find our customer care return form and instructions.
Battery(s) are not charging, Blue AC Power LED, RED Charging & Battery Type LEDs are On
Confirm all charger cables are installed with the correct polarity connections
at each battery, and that all connections are clean and tight. Reverse polarity
connections will blow output fuse, resulting in no output voltage.
With the charger on, read DC voltage at each battery. If any of the readings are
less than 13 Volts DC proceed with the following:
A. Disconnect AC power at the 120VAC outlet.
B. Remove charger cables from each battery.
C. Reconnect AC power and read DC Voltage across each output cable, if output voltage
is approximately 13.4 Volts DC the charger is ok and each battery should be tested with
a hydrometer with the charger and engine off to determine if one or more batteries have
bad cells. (batteries should always be replaced in sets, and should always be the same type.)
D. If there is no output when trying to read DC voltage check each output fuse
and replace as needed.
If the DC Output Voltage is less than 13 Volts DC, contact ProMariner at 1-800-
824-0524 from 8:30 am to 5pm Eastern Time. If your ProSport is within the warranty
period of 2 years from the date of purchase, you can go to www.promariner.com
where you will find our customer care return form and instructions.
