for persons that have read and understood these instructions. Minors may use this product only under adult supervision.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your boat or vessel, and Talon(s). This product does not relieve you from the
responsibility of safe operation of your boat. It may be hazardous to operate your Talon in rough or turbulent water conditions, such
as fast currents or changing environmental conditions. Do not deploy your Talon if these conditions are present, especially when the
underwater topography is unknown. Failure to follow this warning may result in unexpected operation or failure of the Talon to operate
or anchor and could cause death or serious injury. You must avoid hazards to anchoring and always maintain a permanent watch so you
can maintain proper control of your boat. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your
Minn Kota product in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
The Talon should be disconnected from the power source when it is not in use or is off the water. When connecting the power-supply
cables of the Talon to the battery or power switch, ensure that they are not kinked or subject to chafe and route them in such a way that
persons cannot trip over them. Before using the Talon make sure that the insulation of the power cables is not damaged. Disregarding
these safety precautions may result in electric shorts of battery(s) and/or the product. Always disconnect the Talon from battery(s)
before cleaning or checking the Talon. In the event of unexpected operation, remove power leads from the battery. Avoid submerging
the complete product as water may enter and considerable damage to the product can occur. This damage will not be covered by
warranty. The constant noise pressure level of the Talon during use is less than 70dB(A). The overall vibration level does not exceed
2,5 m/sec2.
Take care that neither you nor other persons approach the Talon Spike too closely while operating, neither with body parts nor with
objects. The Talon is powerful and may endanger or injure you or others. While the Talon is operating, watch out for persons swimming
and for floating objects. Persons who lack the ability to run the Talon or whose reactions are impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, or
other substances are not permitted to use this product.
Never leave the boat unattended with the Talon as your only boat anchor. Talon is not intended to provide primary anchorage.
It is recommended to only use Johnson Outdoors approved accessories with your Talon. Using non-approved accessories including
those used to mount or control your product may cause damage, unexpected operation and injury. Be sure to use the product and
all approved accessories, including remotes, safely and in the manner directed to avoid accidental or unexpected operation. Keep
