Introduction

The ProXtra is a revolutionary product specifically designed to enhance trolling
battery performance and extend the amount of battery power available to the
user between charge cycles accomplished with a conventional battery charger.
This system utilizes boat engine charging current to charge your trolling motor
batteries while the engine is running. Solid state electronics ensure that the main
starting battery is adequately charged before allowing current to flow to the
trolling motor batteries. The ProXtra is fully protected against short circuits and
reverse polarity and is not directly connected to the ignition system or engine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety and

operating instructions for the ProXtra 1, ProXtra 2, and ProXtra 3.

Use of attachments not recommended or sold by PCS may result in a risk of fire,
electrical shock, or personal injury.

Do not operate unit if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or been
otherwise damaged in any way; contact technical support at PCS (800.742.2740).

Do not disassemble unit; contact technical support when service or repair is
required (800.742.2740). Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock
or fire.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this
reason, it is of utmost importance that prior to each use of the ProXtra unit you
read this manual and follow the instructions exactly.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those published by
the battery manufacturer, and those published by the manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review all cautionary
markings on these products and on the engine.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

The ProXtra is designed to be permanently installed in the boat specifically for
the purpose of supplying charging current to the trolling motor batteries while
operating the main boat engine. Other types and uses, including unauthorized
attachments, should be avoided due to possible damage and/or personal injury.

Do not attempt to operate the ProXtra in a battery configuration that utilizes
a series connection between the engine starting battery and the trolling
motor battery or batteries. Severe sparking and/or damage to the ProXtra
may occur and the warranty will be voided. Please contact technical
support for further information (800.742.2740).
