WARNING : WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING MOTOR, KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF ALL HINGE AND PIVOT
POINTS AND ALL MOVING PARTS.
BOW MOUNT OPERATION:
• The bow mount is designed to fold back and lock the
motor flat on deck when not in use.
• The motor rest positions the lower unit as it comes in
contact with the nose of the mount and guides it onto the
motor rest.
• The tube lock tilts up and engages the shaft to lock it for
transport.
• The hold down strap assembly crosses over the shaft
and the retangular ring / Velcro® secures the motor.
• Pull the rope to release the lock bar, which automatically
engages when the unit is lowered or raised into position.
The pull grip and rope should be used to both lower and
raise the unit.
• If the rope disengages from the lock bar assembly,
release the lock bar with a screwdriver.
TILT AND EXTENSION HANDLE
OPERATION:
Your MAXXUM trolling motor features 7 usable handle
tilt positions…45°, 30°, and 15° up and down from the
0° (horizontal) position. To use the down positions, you
must first press the release button located on the left
underside of the pivot handle.
Your MAXXUM trolling motor handle also features
a unique stow position, that is useful for limiting the
amount of space required for storage or travel.
First press the release button located on the left under-
side of the pivot handle, then push the handle down until
you feel the handle “lock in” to the stowed position. This
will be almost parallel to the motor shaft.
To extend the handle, pull the handle towards you to the
desired position. The handle will extend a full 6 inches.
To retract, push the handle in until it meets the face of
the motor control head.
IMPORTANT: THE MOTOR MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION TO USE THE STOW POSITION! FAILURE TO PUT
THE MOTOR IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE STOWING THE HANDLE WILL RESULT IN JOINT FAILURE.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE YOUR MOTOR
WHEN IT IS OUT OF THE WATER.
