CHARGING SYSTEM- SUMMARY NOTES
Following is a series of general notes regarding the charg-
ing system or specifi c charging system components.
1. If one of the cranking batteries is weak or "dead" fi rst
start the generator up and let it run awhile as it will send
an initial charge to the weak battery. Then engage the bat-
tery parallel switch to start the engine.
2. Always turn the universal battery switches on the bat-
tery management panel to the "off " position when leav-
ing the vessel for extended periods. Select breakers that
control specifi c safety functions of the boat will operate
as normal.
3. When leaving the vessel after connecting your dock-
side power cord turn the battery charger breaker at the
management panel to the "on" position. This will permit
the battery charging system to energize the appropriate
batteries as needed.
4. Note: Since this type of battery charger is equipped
with a 3 step Plus charge system, the batteries can also
remain connected to the Chargemaster in cold climates
(winter season). One hour every 12 days the charger auto-
matically switches to absorption to keep the battery run-
ning properly and to prolong the life of the battery.
