CONTROLLING SPEED & STEERING WITH THE FOOT PEDAL

Most controls on the foot pedal are easy to operate by either foot or hand:

TO ADJUST MOTOR SPEED

Turn the speed knob clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease speed.

TO OPERATE THE MOTOR IN MOMENTARY MODE

The default mode of operation for the foot pedal is Momentary. In this mode, the motor will only run while downward force is 
applied to the Momentary On button on the top of the foot pedal. A toe touch to the Momentary button on the top of the foot 
pedal will turn the propeller on in this mode. Removing downward force on the Momentary button will turn the propeller off .

TO OPERATE THE MOTOR IN CONSTANT MODE

To switch to Constant Mode, fl ip the side-mounted Constant On switch until the propeller starts. In Constant Mode, the propeller 
will continually run, regardless of whether force is being applied to the Momentary On button on the top of the foot pedal.

TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT

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 indicator on 
the motor head shows the direction of the motor. The motor will not maintain its own heading. You must keep your foot on the 
pedal to control steering during operation.

TO REVERSE THE MOTOR

The motor always travels in the direction of the indicator.  You can reverse the direction of the motor by turning the motor 180° 
from straight ahead.

CAUTION: 

• 

Make sure the Constant On switch is in the off  position when not in use. If the motor control is left on and the
propeller rotation is blocked, severe motor damage can result.

• 

Be sure to turn the motor off  after each use.

• 

For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery/batteries when the motor is not in use or while the
battery/batteries are being charged.
