FIRST TIME RUNNING
1. Place Electric Outboard onto the back of the vessel in the Stow away position.
2. Loosely tighten Transom Mounting Screws till they grip the Transom Mount.
3. Press the Tilt Lever and slowly let the motor enter the water.
4. Use the Depth Adjuster Collar to adjust the height of motor (Recommend running depth between
150mm and 300mm below the waterline).
5. When you are satisfied that the motor is at a safe depth and isn’t too close or in danger of hitting
the bottom of the lake, river or other water ways you may proceed to tighten the Transom Mounting
Screws.
6. Once this is done it should be safe to connect the battery to the motor. Ensure that the twist grip is
in the neutral position and that the nuts are tight on the terminals to prevent a poor connection.
7. Select the desired speed and direction using twist grip on the tiller arm.
8. Do not go from full forward speed to full reverse speed without letting the propeller stop turning first
or motor damage may occur.
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting to battery or
batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite hydrogen gas and cause
the battery to explode.
Always disconnect power from the motor when replacing propeller, removing
debris around the propeller, charging batteries, transporting boat or when the
motor is not in use.
