The Retraction Notification Alarm - MINN KOTA TALON Mode D'emploi

THE RETRACTION NOTIFICATION ALARM

c. Continue to turn the Hex-Drive in a clockwise
direction until the Talon is fully retracted. Visually
confirm that the Spike is fully retracted.
d. Once retracted, the Talon must be taken out of
Manual Retraction Mode. Manual Retraction mode
will time-out after 30 minutes, or press and release
the Up button on the Indicator Panel. Three
successive beeps will sound. This tone will confirm
that the Talon has exited Manual Mode.
THE RETRACTION NOTIFICATION ALARM
The Talon is equipped with a Retraction Notification Alarm to protect the lift motor. If the lift capacity of the motor is exceeded or the
motor takes more that 10 seconds to retract, the motor will stop and emit a series of three sets of three beeps. This is different from
the Deployment Notification Alarm, which will emit a tone each time the ignition key is turned "on" and the anchor is not retracted. The
Retraction Notification Alarm sounds when the Talon fails to retract. The most common reasons for the Retraction Notification Alarm
sounding are:
1. Because of an extremely soft or muddy bottom and the Spike is deeply buried and cannot retract on its own.
2. There may be an excessive amount of side load on the Spike, generally due to fast moving water currents or wind.
3. Battery Power is low. This may create a retraction time that is greater than 10 seconds.
4. Obstructions on the anchor prevent it from retracting.
If the Retraction Notification alarm is emitted, the following steps should be taken to retract the anchor.
1
a. Press the Up
Up button on the Remote. If the Spike does not
raise within two attempts:
b. Loosen the Spike from the bottom by carefully
driving the boat back and forth using the main
engine power. Then attempt to raise the anchor
again. This is especially useful if you are fishing in a
soft or muddy bottom structure.
c. Remove any excessive side loads on the anchor as
described above. This generally requires re-backing
against the current or the direction of the load and
then attempting to retract the anchor again with
the side load removed. In the event that the Spike
cannot be retracted normally, please refer to the
"Manually Retract the Talon" section of this manual.
