SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
1.
After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater, then wiped down
with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based silicone spray such as Armor All
This series of motors is not equipped for salt water exposure.
2.
The propeller must be inspected and cleaned from weeds and fishing line after
every 20 hours of operation. Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop,
damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.
3.
Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.
4.
To prevent accidental damage during transportation or storage, disconnect the
battery whenever the motor is off of the water. For prolonged storage, lightly
coat all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.
5.
For maximum battery life recharge the battery(s) as soon as possible after use.
For maximum motor performance restore battery to full charge prior to use.
6.
Keep battery terminals clean with fine sandpaper or emery cloth.
7.
The propeller is designed to provide weed free operation with very high
efficiency. To maintain this top performance, the leading edge of the blades
must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smooth
by sanding with fine sandpaper.
