5. Operating the 

Flex Drive E

Affix the optional 

specification

 sticker to match the battery you are 

using.

 Once the 

Flex Drive E

 is properly attached and tightened down 

and battery power is connected, confirm that your battery is well

-

secured before operation. Make sure the lever is raised so magnetic 

key can reach throttle knob.

IMPORTANT: For your safety and to prevent damaging the propeller 

during operation, the lanyard attached to the safety key should always 

be attached to the deployment lever as shown. This ensures the key will 

detach and the motor will shut down should the operator inadvertently 

raise the propeller while the motor is running. 

11

(A)

Insert the Magnetic Safety Key (tethered by colored lanyard on

deployment lever) firmly into the hole in the center of the throttle 

knob until it is snug.

 Turn the throttle knob to neutral/off position for 

at least 3 seconds. The time delay is a safety interlock feature to avoid 

inadvertent operation/propeller spinning.

(B)

  Turn the throttle knob clockwise for forward, counterclockwise for 

reverse. The farther you turn the knob in either direction, the greater

the acceleration.

Remove key when motor is not in operation.
