WARNING
Moving the motor creates a variety of pinch points. The motor head will create a pinch point if the Steering Tension Knob is loosened
and the motor head slides to the top of the Quick Release Depth Collar. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from sliding all the way down to
prevent the pinch point. Grasp the motor away from the area that may come in contact with another area of the motor to prevent injury.
Watch for pinch points on the Tiller when moving the motor or using the telescoping handle.
WARNING
When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it is important to place the motor completely out of water. The motor should be
positioned up close to the Bowguard. The motor should be positioned on the Rails of the Motor Rest and in the stowed position. Release
the Depth Collar and slide it along the Shaft until it makes contact with the Bowguard, then re-secure the Depth Collar. For added
security during transport secure the Hold Down Strap. This provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during transportation
when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.
WARNING
Avoid contact with the Bowguard while stowing, deploying or
operating. The Shaft and mechanisms within the Bowguard
can create pinch points. Avoid contact to avoid injury.
Always use the Pull Grip and Cable to stow and deploy the
motor to prevent injury.
