User manual LOWRANCE PORTABLE POWER PACK 15

[. . . ] You can assemble everything without tools, but it's easiest if you have a screwdriver, and perhaps a small adjustable wrench or pair of wire pliers. Attach the quick release mounting bracket to the base with the two nylon nuts and bolts. 1 PPP-15 Velcro straps Nylon nut and bolt for mounting bracket. Battery Secure mounting bracket to base plate as shown at left, and slide the battery straps through the slots on either side of the tray. 2. [. . . ] (An optional quick release mounting bracket and an optional swivel base are available for mounting your sonar in a boat. ) 3. If it works, turn it off and finish assembling the ice fishing transducer. If it doesn't work, make sure the power leads are firmly connected to the battery terminals. Also make sure the lead colors match the battery terminal colors (red positive to positive and black negative to negative). If it still doesn't work, check the battery voltage. Most complaints we hear about portable units result from batteries that have not been charged. If you are using the optional D dry cell battery adapter, be sure you use fresh batteries. In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the temperature. We find it a good idea to have the batteries and the sonar unit good and warm before we leave home. (If you are using disposable D batteries, always remove them from the power pack when storing the unit because dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts of the battery adapter. ) If the batteries do lose a charge, you can sometimes restore them by placing them in a warm room or car interior. A better way is to replace them with batteries that have been kept warm. WARNING: Never heat batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them. Slip the washer onto the transducer rod, followed by the transducer and the wing nut. Assembled transducer, attached to the mounting rod. 2. The wing nut should be tightened enough to hold the transducer on the rod, but it should be loose enough to allow the transducer to swing freely. This allows the transducer to self-position itself straight down, for ideal ice fishing performance. Grasp the assembled transducer and rod in one hand and thread the swing arm's socket end onto the rod. Insert mounting rod through swing arm's socket, as shown. 4. Snap the red rubber adjustment lock onto the rod and screw it into the swing arm's threaded socket. As the lock is screwed in, it tightens on the mounting rod, holding it in place. 6 Snap adjustment lock onto transducer mounting rod as shown, then screw it into the swing arm's socket. If you find the adjustment lock is too hard to turn, consider adding a small amount of petroleum jelly or silicone lubricant to the adjustment lock's threads. This will help the lock to turn more easily, which may be necessary in very cold environments. Slip the assembled transducer rod and swing arm into the ratcheted swing arm socket on the front of the base plate. Mount swing arm in ratcheted socket on base plate. To adjust transducer depth, loosen the adjustment lock, slide the rod up or down, then retighten. To adjust lateral position in your fishing hole, simply nudge the arm to one side or another, then lightly press down on the arm's ratchet end to engage the ratchets.
