Adjusting The Steering; Controlling Speed & Steering With The Tiller - MINN KOTA 1355954 Manuel Du Propriétaire

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR

Adjusting the Steering

• Adjust the Steering Tension Knob to provide enough tension
to allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in any position
without being held, or
• Tighten the Steering Tension Knob to place the motor in a
preset position to leave your hands free for fishing.
Controlling Speed & Steering with the Tiller
This Motor offers 5 forward and 3 reverse speeds. The speed
control may be operated in either direction, forward or reverse.
Turn the tiller handle counterclockwise from (OFF) to increase
reverse speed and clockwise from (OFF) to increase forward speed.
Speed decreases as you approach (OFF) from either direction.
WARNING
When the Motor is not in use, always turn the Tilt/Extend
Tiller handle to "OFF/STOW". If the handle is set or
accidentally engaged or bummped and is not positioned to
"OFF/STOW" the prop will turn on unexpectedly. The prop
may also turn on unexpectedly if the control board or 5
position switch fails. Prevent injury from a turning propeller
and always know how to quickly disengage the power or
correct the Tilt/Extend Tiller to turn the prop off.
WARNING
The Pontoon Hand Control is not intended to be a primary
propulsion motor. Heavy use of the motor can cause
elevated motor temperatures, which can be increased by
an excessively hot operating environment. Use care when
handling the control head to avoid burns or injuries from
excessive heat. In the event that the motor or speed control
would break, always be prepared to take manual control of
the boat.

and jolts if the steering is changed sharply or if broad changes
in speed are made while operating. Maintain balance and
observe safe motor operation.
