9 Storage and transport
9.1 Transporting in assembled condition (towing)
CAUTION
Danger of accident due to non-secured or insufficiently secured load. This can
result in minor or moderate bodily injuries.
•
Only transport your boat and all associated parts and accessories with
appropriate load securing.
•
Attach your Torqeedo motor firmly to the transom of your boat at the
designated points when transporting your boat with the motor mounted.
When transporting the boat with the outboard motor mounted, the motor should
be fully tilted down if this is possible without the risk of touching the ground
(take into account the influence of uneven ground). If, with the motor tilted
down, the risk of contact with the ground during travel cannot be ruled out, the
outboard motor is tilted up for transport
NOTE!
Observe the respective country-specific regulations for the transport of
boats.
NOTE!
Damage to the Cruise system during transport! This can result in material
damage.
•
During transport, ensure that there is no danger of the propeller or fin
touching the ground.
•
During transport, use a suitable support such as squared timbers or similar
to secure the shaft.
9.2 Transport
Observe the following points to protect your Torqeedo motor from damage
during transport.
•
Always disconnect the motor from the battery and all other components
when transporting it.
•
Clean the motor.
•
Dismantle the propeller.
•
Lock the motor in the neutral position by installing the motor lock.
TIP!
Keep the original packaging so that you can ship the motor safely, (e. g. e.g.
for service or repair purposes).
9.2.1 Storage (entire system)
The storage conditions of your Torqeedo system are largely determined by the
battery. Observe the operating conditions in the technical data when storing the
components separately from each other.
The optimal storage location for your Torqeedo system
•
Protected from direct sunlight
•
In a dry environment
•
Temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C.
During storage, pay particular attention to the battery's state of charge to ensure
safe storage.
TIP!
Check and, if necessary, replace the galvanic anode of your Torqeedo system
before storage. This means you can end storage at any time and your Torqeedo
system will be ready for use immediately after charging.
NOTE!
Note that long-term storage requires recharging of the batteries to
prevent deep discharging and avoid damage to the battery.
NOTE!
Please note that the storage information does not apply to external
batteries. You will find corresponding information in the your battery
manufacturer’s specifications.
Storage
1.
Rinse the motor with fresh water.
2.
Clean the motor and any dirty components.
3.
Make sure that the battery's state of charge is between 30% and 40% to
ensure optimal storage conditions for the battery.
4.
Check the battery state of charge every 6 months and recharge if necessary.
5.
Only fully charge the batteries after storage has ended and shortly before
the first ride.
