• The connector plug and main switch must be protected from moisture.
• Only operate the motor while the propeller is submerged in water. If the motor is
running „in air“ for a longer period of time, the shaft seals are getting damaged which
seal the motor at the drive shaft against water intrusion. Additionally, the motor might
overheat.
• Cruise R/ Cruise T models are protected against dirt and water according to protection
rating IP67 (30 minutes under water at a depth of 1 meter)
• After use, the motor should as a general rule, be taken out of the water. Use the tilt
mechanism to do so.
• Rinse the motor with fresh water after operation in salt water or brackish water.
• You extend the lifespan of your battery if you do not expose it to hot environments for
longer than necessary.
• Comply with the following rules if you are storing your battery for a longer period of
time. Storage for around six months: Charging level when stored 50%. Storage for a
whole year: Charging level when stored 100%. If the battery is to be stored for several
years the charging level should be checked once a year in order to prevent the battery
from deep discharging.
• If the motor has malfunctions an error code is shown on the display. After resolving
the error the motor can be restarted again from the stop-position of the tiller. Depen-
ding on the error code displayed it may be necessary to switch the motor off using the
“on/off” button on the tiller. You find descriptions and details in the “Error messages/
trouble shooting“ chapter in this operating manual.
• Do not leave the motor in the water when the boat is moved by other drives (e.g.
while sailing, towing the boat) to prevent damage to the electronics.
• When leaving the boat turn main switch into ”OFF” position to prevent accidental
operation of motor and limit battery discharge during storage. It is additionally man-
datory to completely switch off the Power 26-104.
• Do not operate the motor and the main switch when completely submerged or perma-
nently exposed to splashing water.
• In order to maintain a smooth movement of the throttle handle we recommend to
keep the area between the handle and the metal base lubricated (e.g. WD40 or Wet-
protect).
• Inspection of sacrificial anode on a regular basis, at least every 6 months. Replace if
needed.
• If you charge your batteries, please make sure to use only galvanically insulated
chargers. Your dealer can probably assist you in selecting the proper charger. Fur-
thermore, turn the main switch of the cable set in the „off“ position in order to avoid
damages due to electrolysis while charging.
• When using the Torqeedo Cruise in conjuction with a Torqeedo Power battery, a one-
time registration (Enumeration) of the batteries is necessary in order to establish the
communication between the components. See chapter 5.3.1.1.
1. Important safety and operating instructions

This symbol warns about any danger of injury to you and
other people.
Torqeedo motors are designed to operate safely and reliably as long as they are used
according to the operating manual. Please read this manual carefully before you start the
motor. Ignoring these instructions can cause property damage or personal injury. Torqee-
do accepts no liability for any damage caused by actions that contradict this operating
manual.
To ensure safe operation of the motor:
• Check the status and function of the outboard motor (including emergency stop switch)
before each use.
• Please note that the GPS-based range calculation is subject to constant currents and
winds. Changes to the direction of travel, currents and wind directions may significant-
ly affect the displayed remaining range.
• If you are running the motor at full throttle in high ambient temperatures, the motor
may reduce speed automatically to reduce battery temperature. A blinking thermome-
ter in the display informs about this operation (temperature, protection, mode).
• Familiarize yourself with all the motor controls. For instance, you should be able to
stop the motor quickly if necessary.
• Only allow adults who have been instructed on how to operate the motor to run it.
• Follow the boat manufacturer’s instructions on the permissible motorization of your
boat. Do not exceed the capacity limits.
• Stop the motor immediately if someone goes overboard.
• Never operate the motor if someone is in the water close to the boat.
• In addition to these selected warnings, please comply with the complete operating
manual.
• Torqeedo has the right to refuse warranty claims in cases where the object of purchase
was in any way retrofitted, modified, or equipped with other parts or accessories not
expressly approved or recommended by Torqeedo.
In the following you will find a selection of the most important instructions for handling
of Torqeedo motors. Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete opera-
ting manual to prevent damage to or by your motor.
WATCH OUT!
