Warning: The motor can only be used in water deeper than 0.8m.
STEERING
To adjust steering counter-force, simply loosen or tighten the counterforce bolt. The ideal setting is one where the
counterforce bolt is just tight enough so that the boat will steer in the direction you are aiming without need for
continual correction.
SPEED CONTROL
The speed control, featuring five forward and three reverse speeds, is integrated into the handle. Turn the handle
clockwise to move forward and anti-clockwise to go backwards. When you don’t want to move, set the handle into
neutral. No power will be used in this setting. (D)
Warning: Remember always disconnect from batteries once the motor leaves water as a rotating
propeller can cause personal injury.
How to (re)place the propeller
Hold the propeller blade and loosen the propeller knob. It can be done counter clock-wise manually without tools.
Pull the propeller straight off. If prop is stuck, grasp one blade with one hand and tap on the backside of the
opposite blade lightly with a rubber mallet, until the propeller comes off. If the propeller pin is bent, replace it. Align
the new propeller with the propeller pin. Reinstall the propeller knob and tighten firmly by hand clock-wise
.
Warning:
Make sure that the motor has been disconnected from batteries before replacing the propeller.
Do not strike bent prop pin with hammer to remove pin. Damage to motor housing may occur that
would not be covered by warranty."
