USING & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR

To position the lower unit, press and release the DOWN button on the tiller to
automatically lower the motor into the water. To adjust for shallow water, deploy
the motor and hit the DOWN button a second time and the motor will stop at that
point. Use the UP button to adjust depth if still necessary. When the DOWN button
is pushed, the motor down LED will illuminate and stay lit until the motor is retracted
back to its stowed position. The motor is only designed to deploy a certain distance.
Pushing the DOWN button when the motor is fully deployed or UP button when the
motor is fully stowed may result in lift motor damage.
NOTE: If the UP button is pushed while the lower unit is running, the power will shut
off to protect the lift system.
CAUTION: Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
