In the unlikely event that the motor will not stow from either the remote or foot pedal command, the following alternative stow methods
should solve the issue:
1. Trim/Stow Reset Procedure (see “Alternate Stowing Methods” section)
2. Stowing from the Motor (see “Alternate Stowing Methods” section)
3. If your batteries lose power to the level that the motor will not stow, the motor will most likely stall at a 45 degree angle. If
this occurs, reengage power, deploy the motor, trim motor to its highest setting, and turn power off until batteries can be
recharged. Once batteries are charged, attempt to stow motor again.
If all three alternative methods have been tried and the motor will still not stow, there is a method to manually stow the motor. However,
ONCE THE MOTOR HAS BEEN MANUALLY STOWED, IT WILL BE NON-OPERATIONAL UNTIL IT IS MANUALLY RESET BY AN
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER
. If a manual stow must be done, follow the instructions below:
mAnUAL sTOW PROCEDURE
