gine are visible on the packaging and on this manual.
4.1 Motor compartment
The motor should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated area.

The ambient temperature should not exceed 50 °C. Ensure ade-
quate ventilation. Supply cool air and discharge warm air.
4.2 Motor support
All components of the propulsion system must be properly aligned
to ensure correct operation.
The foundation must be sufficiently rigid to maintain this under all
conditions.

The E-Air motor is designed to withstand the thrust generated
by the propeller. A thrust bearing is not necessary.
When determining the dimensions of the foundation, take into ac-
count a clearance of at least 10 mm (3/8") between the motor and
the foundation.
The mounting surfaces of the motor supports must all be at the same
level. This will prevent distortion of the rubber elements of the flex-
ible motor supports.
The motor must be kept free of bilge water at all times.
4.3 Flexible mounting
The flexible installation is specially adapted to the characteristics of
the motor. Use the supplied flexible motor supports (vibration damp-
ers); these have been specially developed for electric propulsion en-
gines.
The vibration dampers must be fitted without tension in the longitu-
dinal direction. Distorted vibration dampers can transmit vibration
and noise to the boat.

Upon receipt, the motor brackets are in the transport position.
Dismantle the brackets, turn them half a turn and reassemble
them.
For the front and rear of the motor setup, the compression on the left
and right must be the same. A difference in compression between
the front and rear is permitted and often unavoidable.
• Place the motor on the motor supports and wait 48 hours before
starting the alignment. If it is not possible to wait that long, set the
supports so that the motor is 0.75 mm (1/32") too high.
The mounting brackets are easily adjustable in height and at an an-
gle of 0° or 8°. This makes re-motorisation and connection to an ex-
isting propeller shaft easy.
