PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

In the event you have any questions concerning use or care of this product, please contact the sales department at Southwire Company, LLC.

Installation Procedure

1. Plug the Surge Guard Model 67060 into an approved 120V/30A marine power receptacle.

2. Press and release the reset button. Verify that the Green light is visible.* This indicates power is available to the watercraft.

3. Press the test button. Verify that the Green light is not visible.

4. Press and release the reset button. Verify that the Green light is visible.

5. Power is available. Operate equipment in your watercraft normally.

* If the unit is in the reset condition when plugged into the power receptacle, then the green light will be immediately visible.

Warning

1. If the unit with contacts closed fails to trip when test button is pressed (Green light fails to extinguish), the device is not operating

properly and should be returned to the point of purchase for replacement (see warranty information).

2. If the product tests properly without a load applied, but trips each time the watercraft load is applied, a current leakage exists and

should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible (see warranty information). DO NOT BYPASS THE SURGE GUARD UNIT IF

THIS CONDITION OCCURS. A REAL SHOCK HAZARD MAY EXIST.

• Read all instruction before using the appliance.

• To reduce risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near children.

• Do not connect any electrical cord longer than 250 feet to the Surge Guard unit to avoid the possibility of nuisance tripping.

• This device is to be used on electrical distribution systems 120V/30A 60Hz only.

• Ground fault circuit interrupters do not protect against electrical shock resulting from contact with both line and

neutral wires of the electrical circuit.

• The Surge Guard Model 67040 is designed as a protective device, do not use as an “on and off” switch.

WARNING – The Surge Guard Model 67060 will provide protection even if there

is a break in the ground wire in the supply power circuit or the internal circuit in

the water craft. When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always

be followed, including:

INSTALLATION & OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

505-00060B

Watercrafts, new and old, can have loose, faulty, or even incorrect wiring which could be potentially dangerous. In the event there

is a leakage of current caused by one or more of the above conditions, the Surge Guard Model 67040 will cut the ow of electricity.

Should this happen, follow the procedures below to isolate the cause; however, Southwire recommends that all electrical repairs be

done by a certied technician.

1. Unplug the watercraft from the Surge Guard unit and push the reset button. If the unit trips immediately after reset, the problem is in

the Surge Guard unit and it should be returned for repair or replacement (see warranty information). However, if the Surge Guard unit

holds the set, continue on to step 2.

2. Turn off all the watercraft circuit breakers and plug the watercraft power cord into the Surge Guard unit. If the unit trips, the problem is

in the cord and/or the connection supplying the watercraft. However, if the unit does not trip continue to step 3.

3. Turn on each circuit breaker one at a time until the Surge Guard unit trips. You have now isolated a circuit with leakage.

4. Unplug all appliances connected to the bad circuit and reset the circuit breaker and the Surge Guard unit. If the unit trips, then the

problem is in the watercraft wiring. Should the Surge Guard unit not trip, see step 5.

5. Plug in each appliance until the Surge Guard unit trips. The appliance that causes the trip has a current leakage and should be

repaired or replaced.
