Operation Tips
• The throttle maintains its setting without being held.
• Always sit within easy reach of the lever and throttle controls for safety.
• RESET: When the safety interlock shuts off your motor (i.e. when the
key is removed or when the power cord is removed and replaced),
you must reset the motor. Insert key again, return the knob to neutral/
off power setting and wait 3 seconds to enable motor operation.
• Loop the Magnetic Safety Key lanyard around the lever for storage
and use.
•
For use as a man-overboard safety disable switch, add a length of
cord to your PFD with a loop in the end. Pass the lanyard through the
loop before inserting the key.
• When approaching shore, return the motor to neutral and raise the
Flex
Drive lower unit to protect the prop from hitting bottom.
• I
MPORTANT: Tether the key with the lanyard to the deployment lever
and it will only reach the throttle hole when the prop is lowered in the
water and ready to operate.
DO NOT DEFEAT THIS SAFETY OFF FEATURE.
Run motor only while prop and blade are in water. The gear case
requires water for lubrication.
• The prop has sharp edges and strikes from a moving prop will cause
serious injuries.
Important Safety Information
• Do not let hands or children near the exposed prop. Be aware of
swimmers and animals during use. Use the safety key to quickly stop
the motor and avoid strikes.
• Do not use or store charger in a damp location or cover during the
charging.
• Inspect all cords before connecting or using. Do not use a damaged
charger or battery.
• After inserting Magnetic Safety Key, turn throttle to off position for 3
seconds before turning on.
• The Magnetic Safety Key contains Neodymium magnets. If you have a
pacemaker or other implanted medical device, consult your physician
or the implanted device manufacturer prior to handling or use.
• Before each use, check the battery cable connector, and inspect for
any corrosion.
