ADjUSTING THE STEERING
CONTROLLING SPEED & DIRECTION WITH THE TILLER
WARNING
When the motor is not in use, always turn the Tiller handle to "OFF." If the handle is set or accidentally engaged or bumped and is not
positioned to "OFF" the prop will turn on unexpectedly. The prop may also turn on unexpectedly if the control board or 5-position switch
fails. Prevent injury from a turning propeller and always know how to quickly disengage the power or correct the Tiller to turn the prop off.
WARNING
Be alert for unexpected boat movement when operating the Riptide Maxxum. The boat may encounter sharp turns and jolts if the
steering is changed sharply or if broad changes in speed are made while operating. Maintain balance and observe safe motor operation.
WARNING
The Riptide Maxxum is not intended to be a primary propulsion motor. Heavy use of the motor can cause elevated motor temperatures,
which can be increased by an excessively hot operating environment. Use care when handling the control head to avoid burns or injuries
from excessive heat. In the event that the motor or speed control would break, always be prepared to take manual control of the boat.
