For safety reasons, disconnect the motor from the battery/batteries when the motor is not in use or while the battery/batteries
are being charged. If the motor control is left on and the propeller rotation is blocked, severe motor damage can result.
AutoPilot
The AutoPilot Indicator is located on the Indicator Panel on the Mount. It is illuminated green
it is not illuminated
when AutoPilot is not engaged.
Stow Deploy Lever
The Stow Deploy Lever is located at the top of the mount. The Stow Deploy Lever functions to unlatch the Fall Away Ramps
which rotate to guide the Lower Unit. The Stow Deploy Lever is actuated by pressing it down.
STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
To Deploy the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar, then push firmly down on the
Stow Deploy Lever to release the Lift Assist Collar and slide the
motor forward, out from the Fall Away Ramp. Lower the motor
to the desired depth. Make sure it clicks into a secure, vertical
position. Once at the desired depth, slide the Depth Collar
against the Lift Assist Housing and tighten.
To Stow the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar and depress the Stow Deploy Lever.
Raise the motor by pulling up on the Shaft or Control Head.
Pull the motor toward the stern until it rests securely on the
Fall Away Ramp and the Fall Away Ramps captures the Lower
Unit. Slide the Depth Collar down and secure it against the
top of the Lift Assist Housing to secure the motor in place and
prevent accidental deployment.
Moving parts can cut or crush. The Lift Assist Housing can come off of Steering Housing and create a crushing hazard. Keep
fingers clear of all moving parts.
If a propeller encounters an obstruction while running, the increased electrical current being generated by the obstruction will
signal the motor to decrease the power to the propeller to prevent damage. If the current overload is detected for more than 20
seconds, the prop will be disabled to prevent damage to the motor. In this event, the operator can turn the prop back on after
being sure that the obstruction has been cleared.

ADjUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
CAUTION
When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of
all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.
The Control Head will create a pinch point if the Depth
Collar Knob is loosened and the Control Head slides to the
top of the Depth Collar. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from
sliding all the way down to prevent the pinch point.
Practice proper ergonomics when stowing and deploying
the motor to prevent injury.
