Important safety instructions
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 the instructions in this operating manual can cause damage or
personal injury. Torqeedo accepts no liability for any damage caused by actions that
contradict this operating manual.
To ensure safe operation of the motor:
• 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 or have
read the operating instructions to run it.
• Never operate the motor if someone is in the water close to the boat. Stop the motor
immediately if someone goes overboard.
• Always take a paddle with you on board.
• Check the status and function of the device before each tour.
• Note that the on-board computer does not include changes to currents and wind
conditions in the range calculation. If you are moving with the wind or current the
range against the wind or current is not available for display. Therefore note the effect
that the wind and current along your route have on your range.
• Never use the motor as a fixing point for your kayak; never use the motor as a handle
for lifting or carrying.
• Do not open the battery casing; protect the battery pack from mechanical damage.
• Do not short circuit the battery pack.
• Avoid submerging the battery pack and remote throttle for longer periods of time.
• Only charge the battery at environmental temperatures between 0 °C and +45 °C /
+32 °F and +113 °F.
• The battery of your Ultralight motor has been declared a hazardous item in UN Class 9.
Private transportation is not critical. If shipped by a transport company the relevant
statutory provisions must be observed.
• Keep the magnetic key supplied at least 50 cm / 20 inches away from pacemakers.
• Keep the supplied magnetic key away from magnetic information media (e.g. debit/
credit cards, music cassettes, magnetic tapes etc.). The magnet integrated in the key
has enough strength to make the saved data unusable.
