Controlling Speed & Direction With The Tiller - MINN KOTA 1355920 Mode D'emploi

Controlling Speed & Direction with the Tiller
This motor offers variable forward and 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 Tiller handle
to "OFF". If the handle is set or accidentally engaged or
bummped and is not positioned to "OFF" 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 Tiller to turn the prop off.
WARNING
The Riptide Edge 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.
PUSH-TO-TEST BATTERY METER
This motor is equipped with a "push-to-test" battery meter. The
LED light provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in
the battery. It is only accurate when the motor is off.
The meter reads as:
• One light indicates recharge.
• Two lights indicate low charge.
• Three lights indicate good charge.
• Four lights indicate full charge.
