Battery Cable Installation & Precautions<br />
Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during<br />
normal battery operation and charging. Sparks or<br />
flames near the battery vent openings can cause the<br />
mixture to ignite and explode.<br />
Your battery is an important part of your boat. It provides<br />
all of the power to start your boat and also allows all of<br />
your electrical components to work, even if the motor is not<br />
running (bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.).<br />
Because of it’s important role, <strong>Moomba</strong> recommends using<br />
a good quality “Marine Dual Purpose” battery. The “Dual<br />
Purpose” rating means that it can provide the cranking<br />
Amps needed to start your motor and also has an Amp<br />
hour discharge rating so it can handle low electrical draw<br />
-down cycle.<br />
Sulfuric acid in the battery can cause serious burns. If<br />
spilled on skin or in the eyes, flush with clean water<br />
immediately, then seek medical attention.<br />
Your <strong>Moomba</strong> electrical system is negative ground. The<br />
negative battery cable is grounded on the engine block. The<br />
positive battery cable is connected to the starter solenoid.<br />
Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the positive (+)<br />
post on the battery. Connect the negative (-) battery cable<br />
to the negative (-) post on the battery.<br />
Failure to connect battery cables as outlined will<br />
damage the system and void the warranty.<br />
