7. Run your cables free from sharp objects and hold each of them in place with
cable ties. Coil excess cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the cables as there
are in-line fuses located 4 inches from the end of each red (positive) cable. These
fuses are in place to protect the charger and output cables in the event of a short
or reverse polarity.
8. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on page 8. Make sure the (black or
yellow) wires are connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and
the red wires are connected to the positive side of the battery.
9. Make sure all DC connections are tight and correct.
10. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your boat at least 21 inches
from the charger, batteries and fuel fill lines.
11. Connect a heavy duty U.L. approved extension cord to the ProMite charger first.
After connecting the extension cord to the charger then proceed to plug the
extension cord to a nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt)
outlet. Always remove the extension cord from the 120VAC outlet first when charging
is completed, followed by unplugging the charger.
You are now connected and charging your batteries. View the LED indicators.
Assuming your batteries are discharged you should observe both the green "Power"
LED and the red "Charging" LED on, indicating charging mode is in process.
