• WIRING AND BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING

• Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which can cause severe burns.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. The battery also produces hydrogen and oxygen gases when being charged. This potentially explosive mixture escapes through the fill vent cell caps and may form an explosive atmosphere around the battery for several hours after it has been charged. Electrical arcing or flames can ignite the gas and cause an explosion, which may shatter the battery and could cause blindness or other serious injuries.

Battery Type

• Recommended battery(s): 12-volt Deep Cycle battery or Marine battery, the battery should have at least a 50-ampere hour rating or higher. To extend the running time an add on battery can be used See the section on battery connection methods.

Circuit Protection

• It is recommended to install a 50 amp manual reset circuit breaker in the electric outboard motor leads within 1.Sm (72 Inches) of the battery(s)

Cable Size

• If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the product HX™ recommends the use of 13mm’wire (6-gauge wire, AWG)

WARNING

• Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting to the battery or batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite hydrogen gas and cause the battery to explode.
