Important operating instructions
There follows a selection of the most important instructions for handling Torqeedo
Ultralight 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 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 a longer period, the motor itself can overheat.
• The Ultralight 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 Ultralight has an integrated protective device that switches the motor off when it is
at a particular slope (90°). This prevents the propeller turning if the boat capsizes or tilts.
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. The swivel device can be used for this.
• After operation in salty or brackish water, wash all components in fresh water.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for all electronic contacts. If you use the motor in
salt or brackish water, we recommend applying contact spray once a month.
• You 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.
• 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 has malfunctions an error code is shown on the display. After resolving the
error the motor can be moved 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.
