Installation

All ProSport battery chargers are designed to be permanently mounted on-board and can be mounted with the extruded fins placed vertically or horizontally. Always mount your ProSport charger in a compartment area that can be properly ventilated during use.

Do not mix battery types on-board. All batteries should be of the same age and in good operating condition.

Do not make any electrical connections to the ProSport or to the batteries until the following steps are completed:

11 Easy-to-follow Installation Steps:

1.Select a mounting location that allows for free air ventilation with a minimum of 8 inches of clear, unobstructed space around and in front of the charger. Open all battery and engine compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before starting the installation of the charger.

2.Confirm the selected mounting location allows for a minimum of 8 inches of free space around the front and the sides of the charger. Do not install the charger on carpeted, upholstered, vinyl or varnished surfaces. Be sure to place the ProSport charger in an accessible area where all indicators are viewable. Confirm all battery cables can reach each of the batteries.

3.Using the ProSport charger as a template use a small awl or screwdriver to mark the position of each mounting hole.

4.Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill pilot holes in the four marked locations as described in step 3. Apply a silicon sealer in each of the mounting locations to waterproof the screw holes.

5.Position the ProSport charger over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver by installing 4 marine grade or stainless steel screws (mounting screws not included).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Confirm the surface you will be mounting the charger to is adequate in strength and thickness to hold the ProSport in place with the mounting screws you have selected.

6.Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire brush until a shiny surface is obtained.
