Important operating instructions
The following is a selection of the most important instructions for han-
dling Torqeedo 402 motors. In addition to these instructions, please
observe the complete operating instructions to prevent damage to your
motor.
• Only run the motor when the propeller is under water. If it is run in the
air for longer periods, the shaft sealant rings that seal the motor to the
drive shaft may become damaged. If the motor is run in air for long peri-
ods, the motor itself can overheat.
• The Hobie eVolve product range, the associated remote throttle, battery
pack, and all electric plug-in connections are protected against dirt and
water in line with protection type IP68.
• The Torqeedo 402 has an integrated protective device that switches
the motor off when it reaches a particular slope of 90°. This prevents the
propeller from turning if the boat capsizes or tilts.
• After use, always take the motor out of the water.
• After operation in salty or brackish water, wash all components in fresh
water.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for all cable connections. If you
use the motor in salt or brackish water, we recommend applying contact
spray once a month.
• You will extend the life of your battery if you do not expose it for longer
than necessary to a very hot environment. In order to guarantee that the
life of the battery is as long as possible, the battery should be stored for
longer period of time (e.g. over the winter) at around 50 % charge and
between 0 °C and +15 °C / +32 °F and +60 °F.
• Only charge the battery at environmental temperatures between 0 °C
and +45 °C / +32 °F and +113 °F.
• Store the motor, battery pack and remote throttle in the waterproof
travel bag only when dry. If storing the items for longer periods of time in
the travel bag, do not close it so it is airtight.
• Only use the travel bag for transportation, not for shipping the motor.
The motor stored in the travel bag must not be adversely affected by
heavy objects.
• If the motor malfunctions an error code is shown on the display. After
resolving the error the motor can be restarted out of the stop position
again. In rare cases it may be necessary to switch the motor off using the
“on/off” button. You will find descriptions and details in Section 9.3.
• Do not disconnect the cable connections when the propeller is turning.
• If you have a problem with your motor, please follow the instructions in
this operating manual for handling warranty claims.
