WARNING
Do not run the motor when the propeller is out of the
water. Contact with the rotating propeller may result in
severe injury.
Do not use the motor in areas where you or other people
in the water may come into contact with the rotating
propeller.
Always disconnect the motor from the battery before
cleaning or servicing the propeller to avoid injury.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of
your vessel. The autopilot features on the trolling motor
are tools that enhance your capability to operate your
boat. They do not relieve you of the responsibility of safely
operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and never
leave the motor controls unattended.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free
open water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in
the water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
CAUTION
When using the autopilot features, be prepared for sudden
stops, acceleration, and turns.
When stowing or deploying the motor, be aware of slick
surfaces around the motor. Slipping when stowing or
deploying the motor may result in injury.
