Important operating instructions
Here are the most important instructions on operating Torqeedo Cruise Motors. Apart
from these instructions, please observe the complete operating instructions to prevent
damage to your motor.
• Only run the motor when the propeller is under water. If it is run in the air, the shaft
sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may become damaged. If the motor
is run in the air for a longer period, the motor itself can overheat.
• When mounted, the tiller electronics are protected against spray and swell water.
However, you must not submerge the tiller and the shaft head and you must keep the
plug contacts in the tiller dry. Submerging the tiller and the shaft head can irreparably
damage the electronics.
• After use, cut the connection between the motor and the battery using a master
switch. This completely cuts the power supply to the motor and prevents the batteries
from discharging during the stoppage time because of quiescent current.
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. You can do this using the tilt
mechanism of the transom mount.
• After use in salt or brackish water, rinse the motor (but never the shaft head and the
tiller) with fresh water.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for the gas pressure springs, the contacts on
the power cable and the plug on the steering cable. If you use the motor in salt or
brackish water, we recommend applying contact spray once a month.
• Only store the motor in a dry condition.
• If the motor malfunctions, first shift the tiller handle onto the stop position for approx.
2 seconds. The stop position has a reset function and can correct smaller faults itself.
• If you have a problem with your motor, please follow the instructions in this manual
for handling warranty claims.
