FOOT PEDAL OPERATION
Constant
The Constant button
is located on the left side of the Foot Pedal, towards the bottom, right below the AutoPilot button. It functions
to toggle the motor between Constant Motor Operation and Momentary Motor Operation. The green light
CONSTANT
on the Indicator Panel will
be illuminated when the motor is in Constant Motor Operation. In Constant Mode, the propeller will continually run, regardless of whether
or not force is being applied to the Momentary button or Prop ON/OFF button. While in Constant Motor Operation, the propeller will run
continuously at the speed set by the Speed Control knob, or by the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote.
If a propeller encounters an obstruction while either in Momentary or Constant Mode, while the propeller is running, the increased
electrical current being generated by the obstruction will signal the motor to decrease the power to the propeller to prevent damage. If
the current overload is detected for more than 20 seconds, the prop will be disabled to prevent damage to the motor. In this event, the
operator can turn the prop back on after being sure that the obstruction has been cleared.
AutoPilot
The AutoPilot
button is located in the middle, on the left side of the Foot Pedal. Pressing the AutoPilot button toggles the feature on
and off. The red light
AUTOPILOT
SPOT-LOCK
on the Indicator Panel is illuminated when this feature is engaged. By default, AutoPilot Mode is determined
by the remote when AutoPilot is initiated from the Foot Pedal. AutoPilot can be used in both Standard and Ulterra Modes. AutoPilot
can also be controlled using the remote. For more specific directions on how to use AutoPilot, please refer to either the
i-Pilot
or
i-Pilot
Link
Manual.
Momentary
In Momentary Motor Operation, the propeller will only run while downward force is applied to the Momentary button. The Momentary
button is on the Toe End of the Heel/Toe Steering pedal. Applying downward pressure to the Momentary button will turn the propeller on.
The motor will then run at the speed set by the Speed Knob. Removing downward force to the Momentary button will turn the propeller
off. No indicator light is associated with the Momentary button. The Momentary button functions very similar to the Prop ON/OFF button,
but works in both Normal and Ulterra Modes.
Heel/Toe Steering
Push the Toe End of the Foot Pedal down to turn right and push
the Heel End of the Foot Pedal down to turn left. The position and
direction of the Control Head directly corresponds to the position of
the motor. You must use your foot on the pedal to control the steering
direction during manual operation. The direction of the motor can
also be controlled with the remote. Heel/Toe Steering functions the same Normal Mode and Ulterra Mode.
double press the Stow/Deploy button. When stowing and deploying the motor, it automatically disables the operational function of the
Foot Pedal or paired remote. "Motor Stowed" or "Motor Deploying" will be displayed on the screen of any applicable remote while the
specific action is occurring. The Prop is also disabled when the motor is stowed and deployed.
WARNING
When the motor is being transported, it is important to always stow the Motor and make sure it is locked in place. A secure stow holds
the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to stow the motor may result in
injury or damage to the unit.
NOTICE:
The motor will not auto correct to drive straight
when it encounters an obstruction.
