2. Important safety and operating instructions
Important operating instructions
Here are the most important instructions on operating Torqeedo Travel Motors. Apart
from 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, the shaft
sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may become damaged. If the motor
is run in the air for a longer period, the motor itself can overheat.
• When mounted, the battery is protected against rain and spray water. Do not submerge
it, and keep the contacts as well as the charger port dry. If water enters the battery via
the contacts or the charger port, this can cause irreparable battery damage. If liquid has
entered the battery, first drain off the liquid through the battery case openings. Then dry
the battery in a dry, warm environment up to 50°C before you use it again or before you
press the „Battery charge“ button.
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. You can do this using the tilt
mechanism of the transom mount.
• After use in salt or brackish water, rinse the motor (but never the battery) with fresh
water.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for the battery contacts, the shaft head contacts,
the steering cable plug as well as the steel bolts at the joints of the folding shaft. If you
use the motor in salt or brackish water, we recommend applying contact spray once a
month.
• You will prolong the life of your battery if you do not expose it to a very hot environ-
ment or store it fully charged for longer than necessary. When you store the battery
over an extended period (e.g. over the winter), charge it to about 80-97% and store it at
-20°C to +15°C to ensure a long battery life.
• Always store the motor and battery dry in the drybag.
• Only use the drybag for transport, not for shipping. Do not place heavy objects on top
of the motor stowed in the drybag.
• If the motor malfunctions, first switch the tiller control to the stop position for approx.
2 seconds. The stop position has a reset function and may correct minor faults itself.
• If the battery malfunctions (all LEDs flash), remove the battery from the shaft head. Wait
until the LEDs go out (approx. seconds) and press the „Battery charge“ button. This
features an integrated reset function and may correct minor faults itself.
• If you have a problem with your motor, please follow the instructions in this manual for
handling warranty claims.
