User manual LOWRANCE PORTABLE POWER PACK 16I

[. . . ] fit comfortably inside a typical 5-gallon plastic bucket. This power pack can also use an optional battery adapter that holds eight "D" size batteries. 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. 1 PPP-16i MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION 1. [. . . ] When the unit is turned off, but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. Attach the sonar unit to the gimbal bracket with the washers and knobs supplied with the unit. Be sure to slide the rubber washers onto the knobs first. Gimbal knobs Gimbal bracket arm Gimbal bracket arm When the unit is in the desired position, tighten the gimbal knobs. 2. To adjust the viewing angle, loosen the gimbal knobs, tilt the unit to the desired position, then retighten the knobs. If it doesn't work, make sure the power leads are firmly connected to the battery terminals. Also be 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 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. The efficiency of dry cell batteries drops in cold weather. It is a good idea to have the batteries and the sonar unit nice and warm before leaving home. (If you are using disposable D batteries, always remove them from the power pack when storing the unit because dead batteries can leak, corroding the contacts of the battery adapter. ) If the batteries do lose their charge, you can sometimes restore them by warming them up. A better option 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. 6 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. Snap adjustment lock onto transducer mounting rod as shown, then screw it into the swing arm's socket. If it is too hard to turn, consider adding a small amount of petroleum jelly or silicone lubricant to the threads on the adjustment lock.
