Your WaterWorld propulsion system is equipped with various safety
features:
Safety instructions for the propulsion system
Follow the instructions in this manual.
•
Switch off the system immediately using the main switch in case of
overheating, smoke development, or when you detect a malfunction.
• The allowed ambient temperature during use must not be lower than -20
DANGER!
WARNING!
• Protection against high temperatures in the motor and controller: the motor will reduce
power if the electronics detect excessively high temperatures.
• Controller fuse: there is a fuse on the motor controller, varying according to motor power.
•
External fuse for wiring: this prevents fire/overheating or overloading of the system.
CAUTION! This external fuse is not included in the standard delivery, but it must be installed.
•
Main switch: always switch off when leaving the boat or when working on the system. This
main switch is not included in the standard delivery but must be installed. Consult your
supplier for the correct main switch based on the applied current.
• Protection against battery overload: if your batteries are about to run out, the motor will
automatically reduce power, allowing you to sail longer and seek a safe harbor at a low speed.
•
Ignition switch: used to disable the system in case of danger. Always switch it off when there
are swimmers around the boat.
• Display: continuously shows you the remaining sailing time so you can plan your journey to
reach your destination. Additionally, the display warns against too high or too low battery
voltage. The warning for low voltage is accompanied by an audible signal and displayed on
the screen.
• Voltage-carrying cables connecting the motor, controller, and other components must be
regularly checked for damage or breakage and for correct, secure attachment.
• The cable shoes of voltage-carrying cables connecting the motor, controller, and other
components must be equipped with terminal covers, which also cover the battery terminals.
•
If damage or a break in the cables/cords is identified, the motor must be immediately taken
out of service until the respective cable/cord is replaced.
degrees Celsius and not higher than 50 degrees Celsius.
• Do not touch the driveshaft, motor, and battery components during or immediately after
sailing..
•
Always switch off the system using the main switch during assembly and disassembly work.
• Do not perform maintenance or cleaning work on the propeller or driveshaft while the system
is turned on.
