CONTROLLING SPEED & STEERING WITH THE FOOT PEDAL
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.
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 position
and direction of the Steering Head directly corresponds to the
position of the motor. When turning left or right, the steering
motion will end when the cables controlling the direction of the
Steering Head and Motor have come to the end of their range
of motion. You must use your foot on the pedal to control the
steering direction during manual operation. The foot pedal is
pressure sensitive. Applying gradual pressure to either the Toe
or Heel End of the foot pedal will cause the direction to turn
gradually. A higher amount of pressure will turn the unit more
quickly in the engaged direction. The direction of the motor can
also be controlled with the remote. Since the direction of the
motor is controlled by pressure applied to the foot pedal and
the reaction of the cables to the pressure, the motor will not
turn straight without applying pressure to the foot pedal either manually or with the remote to align the cables to engage the
motor to steer it straight. Due to the Steering Lock feature, the Steering Head and Motor will remain at the last steered position.
Turning left or right can also be controlled by i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link. Refer to the corresponding Owner's Manuals to learn more.
Steering in Reverse
The Control Head always indicates the direction of travel. To reverse the direction of travel, turn the Control Head in the complete
opposite direction of its current location. Keep in mind the steering motion will end when the cables controlling the direction of
the Control Head have come to the end of their range of motion.
Spot-Lock
The Spot-Lock button is located on the right side of the foot pedal and is labeled with an anchor symbol. When the Spot-
Lock button is pressed, the location of the motor is recorded to memory. The yellow light next to the Spot-Lock icon on the
Indicator Panel is illuminated when Spot-Lock is engaged. To engage Spot-Lock press the Spot-Lock button, to disengage, press
the Spot-Lock button again. When engaging Spot-Lock, a tone will be emitted. When disengaging Spot-Lock with the Spot-
Lock button, no tone will be emitted. Steering the motor with the Foot Pedal or adjusting the speed using the Speed Knob will
cancel Spot-Lock and a High-Low, High-Low, High-Low tone will be emitted.
Spot-Lock can also be controlled with the remote.
For more specific directions on how to use Spot-Lock, please refer to either the
i-Pilot
or
i-Pilot Link
Manual.
WARNING
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. We have designed Ultrex to be an accurate and reliable
tool that will enhance boat operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the
responsibility for safe operation of your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch
so you can respond to situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to
operate your Ultrex in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
CAUTION
Make sure that the Power switch is turned off when the
motor is not in use. If the motor control is left on and the
propeller rotation is blocked, severe motor damage can
result.
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.
Moving parts can cut or crush. Avoid pinch points when
operating the Foot Pedal.
