How to Control the Motor
On/Off Speed Control
Rotate handle clockwise to obtain any of the 5 forward speeds. Rotate handle anticlockwise for any of
the 3 reverse speeds. To stop the motor from running, position the handle following the arrow marker
and position on level 0.
Battery Level Indicator
There are 10 LED lights on the top cover, seven of them are green and the rest are red. When seven
(7) green LED’s are out, the meter is indicating that the input voltage is less than 9.5V (normal voltage
draw, 12V). It is advised to disconnect the motor from the battery to prevent damage to the battery
and recharge.
Adjusting Motor Depth
Position the depth adjustment collar so the propeller blades will be submerged 150mm - 300mm
(6inches - 12inches) below the water’s surface.
Raising the Motor
It is recommended to disconnect the battery before carrying out this procedure to prevent accidental
running of the motor. To raise the motor out of the water push and hold the tilt lever and with the other
hand push down on the end of the handle to bring the motor up and out of the water. Then release the
tilt lever to lock in place.
Lowering the Motor
It is recommended to disconnect the battery before carrying out this procedure to prevent accidental
running of the motor. Press the tilt lever whilst with the other hand; hold onto the end of the handle to
steady the motor into the water. Once motor is lowered release the tilt lever to lock into position.
Remember always disconnect from the battery(s) once the motor leaves water as
a rotating propeller can cause personal injury.
Remember to wash the motor by using fresh water after being used in salt
water as it can greatly reduce the possibility of corrosion.
