Operation
WARNING!
Danger to life from a boat which is not manoeuvrable!
This can result in severe physical injuries or death.
■
Before starting a trip, inform yourself of the intended travel area, and take
note of the predicted weather and water conditions.
■
Depending on the size of the boat, keep the typical safety equipment ready
(anchor, paddles, means of communication, auxiliary drive if necessary).
■
Check the system for mechanical damage before setting out on a trip.
■
Do not use the system unless it is in proper working order.
6.1 Emergency Stop
DANGER!
Danger to life if the Emergency Stop is not triggered.
Death or severe physical injuries may result.
■
Attach the cord for the magnetic chip of the magnetic kill switch to the skip-
per's wrist or to his life jacket.
ADVICE
■
Test the functioning of the Emergency Stop switch at low motor power be-
fore every trip.
■
In emergency situations, actuate the Emergency Stop immediately.
■
At high power, use the Emergency Stop only in emergency situations. Re-
peated actuation of the Emergency Stop switch at high power stresses the
Cruise system, and can cause damage to the battery electronics.
There are various options for stopping the Cruise system rapidly:
■
Place the tiller in the neutral position.
■
Pull off the magnetic kill switch.
■
Place the battery main switch in the "OFF" or 0 position.
ADVICE
If the motor is stopped by means of the battery main switch during operation,
then this must be replaced immediately by a service partner.
ADVICE
If you have pulled out the magnetic kill switch, you must first bring the lever to
the 0 position before continuing your trip. Then replace the magnetic chip in po-
sition. After a few seconds you can continue your trip.
