Last update: December 2013 Manual CT35 & CT45 Apply a thin coating of silicon grease or sealing compound to both sides of the gasket (this must be resistant to hydrocarbons and water). Re-assemble all parts as before, positioning and then tightening the two 6mm ∅ screws alternatively using a 5mm Allen key (maximum torque: 12 Nm).
These values are given as an indication, assuming that the batteries are charged at 100% and in charge, that is 13.8V. The performance data of the CT35 / CT45 is measured with an approx. consumption of 250 Amps and approx. 11V at the motor’s connections.
Max Power advises the use of an electric battery isolator ref. OPTI3160/3. If an electric battery isolator is not used then simply seal-off the two grey wires coming out of the control box.
