USING THE FOOT PEDAL
NOTICE:
The motor will not auto correct to drive straight
when it encounters an obstruction.
Steer Right/Steer Left
The Steer Right
and Steer Left
buttons are located at the
bottom of the Foot Pedal. They function to steer right and left.
Holding the Steer Right or Steer Left buttons down will continue to
steer the motor to the left or right. Small steering changes of less
than one degree can be made by quickly tapping the Steer Right
and Steer Left buttons. The position and direction of the Steering
Head directly corresponds to the position of the motor.
The direction of the motor can also be controlled with the remote.
Prop ON/OFF
The Prop ON/OFF
button is located in the bottom, middle of the Foot Pedal. It functions to turn the Prop on and off. The Prop will
turn on when pressure is applied and turn off when pressure to the button is removed.
Constant
The Constant button
is located on the left side of the Foot Pedal, towards the bottom, right below the AutoPilot button. It functions
to toggle the motor between Constant Motor Operation and Momentary Motor Operation. The green light
CONSTANT
on the Indicator Panel will be
illuminated when the motor is in Constant Motor Operation. In Constant Mode, the propeller will continually run, regardless of whether
or not force is being applied to the Momentary button or Prop ON/OFF button. While in Constant Motor Operation, the propeller will run
continuously at the speed set by the Speed Control knob, or by the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remote.
If a propeller encounters an obstruction while either in Momentary or Constant Mode, while the propeller is running, the increased
electrical current being generated by the obstruction will signal the motor to decrease the power to the propeller to prevent damage. If
the current overload is detected for more than 20 seconds, the prop will be disabled to prevent damage to the motor. In this event, the
operator can turn the prop back on after being sure that the obstruction has been cleared.
AutoPilot
The AutoPilot
button is located in the middle, on the left side of the Foot Pedal. Pressing the AutoPilot button toggles the feature on
and off for motor that are installed with this feature. The red light
AUTOPILOT
SPOT-LOCK
on the Indicator Panel is illuminated when this feature is engaged.
When AutoPilot is initiated from the Foot Pedal, the default AutoPilot mode is determined by the remote. AutoPilot can also be engaged
and disengaged using the remote. For more specific directions on how to use AutoPilot, please refer to either the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link
Manual. The AutoPilot Indicator on the Mount will also be illuminated when AutoPilot is engaged.
Momentary
In Momentary Motor Operation, the propeller will only run while downward force is applied to the Momentary button. The Momentary
button is on the Toe End of the Heel/Toe Steering pedal. Applying downward pressure to the Momentary button will turn the propeller on.
The motor will then run at the speed set by the Speed Knob or remote. Removing downward force to the Momentary button will turn the
propeller off. No indicator light is associated with the Momentary button. The Momentary button functions very similar to the Prop ON/
OFF button.
Heel/Toe Steering
Push the Toe End of the Foot Pedal down to turn right and push the Heel End of the Foot Pedal down to turn left. The position
and direction of the Control Head directly corresponds to the position of the motor. You must use your foot on the pedal to
control the steering direction during manual operation. The direction of the motor can also be controlled with the remote.
Steering in Reverse
The propeller always turns in the forward direction. You can reverse the direction of thrust by turning the motor 180°.
CAUTION
The steering system is designed to turn your motor 360
degrees. Be careful to avoid over-wrapping the Coil Cord
around the trolling motor Shaft. Overwrapping the coil cord will
cause damage and prevent operation.
