6. Prepare each battery in advance by cleaning each terminal post with a wire
brush until a shiny surface is obtained.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As you prepare to attach the positive (red) and negative (yellow or black wires)
to the batteries there will be brief low power spark that is generated as you
make the connection. This is due to the high frequency capacitors taking a charge.
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 or the battery.
7. Run your cables free from sharp objects and hold each of them in place with
the cable ties provided. Coil excess cable, do not cut or shorten the length of the
cables as there are inline fuses located 4 inches from the end of each red (positive)
cable. These fuses are in place to protect wiring in the event of a short.
8. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on page 9. 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.
Note: Make sure output no. 1 (gray position) on the charger and output cable is
always connected to the most used trolling motor.
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 ProTournament
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 indicators on your
ProTournament. Assuming your batteries are discharged you should observe a
solid red LED indicating the Step 1 Fast Charge Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
For internal selectable modes, REF: Gel Cell, AGM or 180 to 270VAC operation.

Installation
All ProTournament Battery Chargers are designed to be permanently mounted
on-board, and can be mounted at any angle.
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 ProTournament or batteries
until the following steps are completed:
11 Easy to follow installation steps:
1. Select a mounting location that allows for ventilation any time the charger is used.
Open all battery and engine compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before
starting the installation of the ProTournament charger.
2. Make sure the selected mounting location allows for a minimum of 6 inches of free
space around front and sides of the ProTournament charger. Be sure to place the
ProTournament in an accessible area where all indicators are viewable. Confirm all
battery cables can reach each of the batteries.
3. Using the ProTournament 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 (4) 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 ProTournament over the mounting holes and using a power screwdriver
install the (4) stainless screws provided.
