Principals of FCC Operation
The FCC incorporates two fuel pumps to provide an uninterrupted flow of fuel
to your PCM engine. Fuel is fed into the FCC by a low pressure, high volume
electric fuel pump and also through the fuel pressure regulator that recirculates
unused fuel from the fuel rail. This low pressure pump pushes fuel at a volume
that is greater than the engine can use at maximum throttle. The high pressure
pump inside the FCC bowl provides the necessary injector fuel pressure and
volume to maintain proper engine performance and always has enough fuel to
meet the maximum fuel requirements of the engine. The fuel pressure
regulator on the engine controls fuel pressure and maintains a constant
pressure across the fuel delivery system. Fuel not used by the engine is
returned to the FCC canister. Fuel exits the FCC bowl at two points. The high
pressure output pump sends fuel to the fuel injection system. All excess fuel
in the FCC canister is routed back to the tank via the return line.
Battery
WARNING! Hydrogen and oxygen are produced during normal battery
operation or charging. Sparks or flames near the vent openings can
cause this mixture to ignite and explode. Sulfuric acid in the battery can
cause serious burns if spilled on the skin or in the eyes. Proper eye
protection and protective clothing should be worn when performing
battery maintenance. Flush away acid spills immediately with clear
water. Contact a physician for medical treatment if acid comes in contact
with your body.
A fully charged battery is your best insurance that your boat will start each
time want to go skiing. Batteries tend to discharge when not in use. The rate
of discharge varies with the condition of the battery and/or the entire electrical
system.
When checking the battery condition after a reasonable period of disuse, you
may get a reading of 10 - 11 1/2 volts on a voltmeter. If the reading is 10 volts
or below, the battery should be charged by either a charging device or by
running the boat. If you start the boat, the voltage should immediately rise.
Within one or two minutes the reading on the voltmeter should begin to level
off at 13 - 14 volts. If the voltage does not rise or rises and stays above 15
volts, have the charging system checked out at your Correct Craft dealer.
Battery
Your battery should have 500 cold cranking amps @ zero degrees F (-18 C),
170 amps for a load test and 80 minutes of 25 amp rate reserve capacity. Do
not reverse the battery cables on battery terminals. Do not spark battery cables
against the terminals to check polarity. Damage to the charging system
components may result if these precautions are not observed.
