Torqueedo Cruise 2.0 Mode D'emploi page 13

1. Contents 2. Important safety and operating instructions
• Usually the power for your Cruise 2.0 is supplied by several batteries (24 V nominal
voltage). It is essential when linking up the batteries to ensure you only combine the
same kind of batteries (same capacity, same age, same manufacturer, same charge
status). Different charge conditions between batteries linked together can, when the
batteries are linked up, lead to extremely high compensating currents or overloading
that overload cables, plugs, the master switch or the battery itself. In extreme cases,
this can cause fires and injuries. Therefore always follow the instructions in section 8.1
to 8.2 of this operating manual.
Important operating instructions
Here are the most important instructions on operating Torqeedo Cruise Motors. Apart
from these instructions, please observe the complete operating instructions to prevent
damage to your motor.
• After use, cut the connection between the motor and the battery using a master switch.
This completely cuts the power supply to the motor and prevents the batteries from
discharging during the stoppage time because of quiescent current.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for the contacts on the high-current plugs. If you
use the motor in salt or brackish water, we recommend applying contact spray once a
month.
• Avoid immersing the plug in water or other liquids. Only store the cable set in a dry
condition.
• Should you have any problems with your motor or the cable set, please follow the
instructions for submitting warranty claims in the instruction manual of your Cruise
motor.
