This chapter explains precautions to prevent incidents may be caused by
user or environmental factor of this equipment.

Cautions for safety

7
1. Before operate the equipment (Safety warning)
Warning
Install the equipment based on formal install method. Installation by Simple
method may cause accident include personal injury.
The information displayed on this equipment cannot be used as source of sail. It
can be a reason of distress.
★A formal chart must be used when determine of sailing.
Do not turn on the power in a place with flammable material such as gas. It can
be a reason of fire.
Use of unapproved power can cause fire.
Do not disassemble or reorganize the equipment. It can cause fire, electrical
shock and injury.
Never operate the equipment with wet hand. It can cause electrical shock or
injury.
Turn off the power immediately when equipment is out of order or emit smoke.
Otherwise can cause fire or electrical shock.
Caution
Hazardous voltage exists inside the equipment.
Do not disassemble or reorganize this equipment except of approved technician.
There is risk of electric shock.
Please contact our A/S center for repair.
Warning
Do not install on a place with rain or water spray. It can cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not install in a place of high temperature. Rise of internal temperature of the
equipment can cause fire, injury and electric shock.
The equipment must be grounded after installation. If not grounded properly, can
be interfered by other equipment or affect to other.
Install at the place without direct sunlight to prevent drop of visibility and
heating the equipment.
8
2. Before handle cables (Safety instruction)
3. Before handle the vibrator and water temperature sensor
Caution
Use the regular power code to prevent heating and fire.
Do not leave the equipment as unplugged. Wet plug become short circuit and
cause of heating and fire.
Install the cables to not interfere steering. If foot or steering device are caught it
cause incident.
★Do not put heavy thing on the cable or bend the cable excessively.
Do not disassemble or reorganize the code. It can cause heating, fire and
electrical shock.
Do not use damaged code. It can cause fire or electrical shock.
Warning
Do not pull the cable when unplug.
★Holding the plug body and pull.
Be careful not to pinch the cables when install.
Danger
Operation on the ocean is very unstable and dangerous. Installation or repair of
the vibrator or water temperature sensor should be done on the land, after fix the
vessel body securely. Otherwise, severe injury can be caused.
Warning
Ventilate enough the cabin when use solvent such as glue. Volatile gas of solvent
can result poisoning.
Do not unplug or insert the code of vibrator while the equipment is turned on. It
can cause electrical shock or disorder.
Do not use electrical tool with wet hand. It can cause electrical shock.
Do enough water proof process after installation of thru-hull equipment. If not, it
can cause water leaking and distress.

4. Precautions
1. Turn the power off when start engine.
Rapid change of battery voltage is occurred when start engine and it cause bad
effect to equipment.
2. Power supply: 12-35VDC
This equipment should be used in range of power 12~35VDC.
3. Do not use solvent.
The main equipment is made by plastic and coated. Do not use solvents like thinner
or alcohol on it. To remove dirt, wipe with soft fabric soaked in water or neutral
detergent after squeeze enough.
