2004 Johnson 25 30 hp PL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

BATTERY
Each outboard needs one battery that is:
12-volt, heavy-duty, designated "marine"
Vented/refillable or maintenance-free
Rated according to the minimum requirements in
Engine Specifications.
Deep-cycle batteries are suitable IF   they meet or
exceed the minimum CCA requirements.
Ask your DEALER about your outboard’s require-
ments before installing longer battery cables, a bat-
tery switch or a battery insulator.
Installation
1.
2.
Large surface star washer
Cover
Read and understand the safety information sup-
plied with your battery BEFORE you begin installa-
tion.
Tighten all connections securely and coat the in-
stallation with Triple-Guard grease.
IMPORTANT:  Place  the  battery  in  a  hold-down
system and in a location that is easily accessible for
frequent checking and recharging
Place a large-surface star washer over the battery’s
positive (+) post. Stack the RED battery cable from
the motor on the star washer, then install cables
from  accessories  (if  any).  Finish  the  connection
with a hex nut and tighten it firmly with a wrench.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT  use wing nuts on battery
connections  even  if  they  came  with  the  battery.
Wing  nuts  can  loosen  and  cause  errant  warning
signals or electrical system damage.
Service
Before  servicing  the  battery  or  the  outboard,  re-
move both battery cables from the battery, BLACK
(–) cable first. Keep metal objects from contacting
either battery post.
Connect  the  motor’s  BLACK  battery cable  to the
battery’s negative (–) post in the same manner.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: Service electrical components only
while the outboard is NOT running. Be careful when
identifying positive and negative battery cables and
posts. If you touch the wrong post with a battery ca-
ble, even briefly, the charging system will be dam-
aged.
Keep  the  battery  connections  clean,  tight
and  insulated  to  prevent  their  shorting  or
arcing and causing an explosion. If the bat-
tery  mounting  system  does  not  cover  the
connections, install covers. Check often to
see that connections stay clean and tight.
WARNING
Battery electrolyte is acidic — handle with
care. If electrolyte contacts any part of the
body, immediately flush with water and seek
medical attention.
