WATCH OUT!
This symbol warns of danger of damage that may be caused to or by
outboard motor.
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.
• Only run the motor when the propeller is under water. If it is run in the air for ex-
tended periods, the shaft sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may be
damaged and there is a risk of motor overheating.
• Cruise R/ Cruise T models are protected against dirt and water according to protection
protection rating IP 67 (30 minutes under water at a depth of 1 meter)
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. Use the tilt mechanism to do so.
• After operation in salty or brackish water, rinse all components with fresh water.
• Use contact spray to care for all electronic contacts every two months.
• 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 remote
throttle/tiller. Depending on the error code displayed it may be necessary to switch the
motor off using the “on/off” button on the remote throttle/tiller. You will find descrip-
tions 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 switch main switch into ”OFF” position to prevent accidental
operation of motor and limit battery discharge during storage.
1. Important safety and operating instructions

GER
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.
