ADjUSTING THE STEERING
PUSH-TO-TEST BATTERY METER
This motor is equipped with a “push-to-test” battery meter. The
LED light provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in
the battery. It is only accurate when the motor is off.
The meter reads as:
• One light indicates recharge.
• Two lights indicate low charge.
• Three lights indicate good charge.
• Four lights indicate full charge.

a. First press the release button located on the left
underside of the pivot handle, then push the handle
down until you feel the handle “lock in” to the
stowed position. This will be almost parallel to the
motor shaft.
b. To extend the handle, pull the handle towards you
to the desired position. The handle will extend a full
6 inches. To retract, push the handle in until it
meets the face of the motor control head.
Your trolling motor features 7 usable handle tilt positions: 45°, 30°, and 15° up and down from the 0° (horizontal) position. To use the
down positions, you must first press the release button located on the left underside of the pivot handle.
Your trolling motor handle also features a unique stow position that is useful for limiting the amount of space required for storage or travel.

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.
WARNING
The position of the Tilt/Extend Tiller may create a pinch point
between it and the Control Head. Grasp the motor away from
the area that may come in contact with another area of the
motor to prevent injury.
CAUTION
Before attempting to put the handle in the stowed position, the speed selector must be in the OFF/STOW position. Failure to do so
will damage the internal mechanism.
