lights, which are mounted on the charger face, indicate when the unit is recharging and maintaining the batteries.

Before charging a battery, do not operate the charger if the ca- bles or an LED is damaged. Be sure that all accessories are OFF. If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Be sure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Also ensure that the battery terminals are free of corrosion. (See the Scheduled Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual for additional battery information.)

If the battery charger ever appears to be malfunctioning, see your authorized MasterCraft dealer for assistance.

Note that towing with unapproved covers on the boat may result in damage to the gel coat. MasterCraft recommends the use

of our towable cover only for towing. Other canvas and covers have been developed and are available only through authorized MasterCraft dealers for a variety of uses.

When charging, batteries generate small amounts of danger- ous hydrogen gas. This gas is highly explosive. Keep all sparks, flames and smoking well away from the area. Failure to follow instructions when charging a battery may cause an electrical charge or even an explosion of the battery, which could result in death or serious injury.

Canvas Covers

One of the most popular options for MasterCraft boats are the variety of canvas covers available. Speak with an authorized MasterCraft dealer for details about what is available for each model. MasterCraft strongly recommends having an authorized MasterCraft dealer perform the installation as snap installation can cause “crazing” (unwanted spider-web-like lines in the gel coat) if the installation is not done correctly.

On-going care of the canvas is required to keep the material in good condition for the life of the boat. See Cleaning the Boat sec- tion of this Owner’s Manual for more information.

Coolers

On many models, a removable cooler is included, particularly on models that do not have cold plates or a refrigerator. As with any similar Igloo-type cooler, routine cleaning with warm soapy wa- ter is advised after each use. Check also whether anything from inside the cooler has been spilled or in some manner ended up in the storage area in which the cooler is kept. This should be cleaned up immediately to avoid mold, mildew, stains or other damage that is not covered under warranty.

Food items or anything that can create an odor should not be left in the cooler. Neither should anything that can leak be left in these units as they could potentially damage the cooler, and this type of damage is not covered under warranty.
