Connect the terminal clamps securely. Otherwise you may have
trouble using the motor.
The battery should always be kept in a well-ventilated location.
The motor runs with all standard 12V batteries. We recommend
using a special low charge marine battery or a LiFeP04 battery
for optimum performance.
CAUTION: Any changes to the factory
installed battery connections will void the
warranty. The electric pole clips must be
connected securely, otherwise there may
be disruption in the electric current.

3. MAINTAINANCE
After use, carefully rinse the motor unit with running water and
wipe the control unit with a damp cloth.
On a monthly basis, inspect the electrical connections for signs
of corrosion. Replace defective terminals or cables immediately
to prevent possible overheating.
After approx. 100 hours of service, the graphite brushes of the
driving unit should be replaced by Zebco Customer Service.
Be sure to choose a well-ventilated and dry location when
storing the motor for longer periods.
Do not leave the motor outdoors during the winter, as this could
cause damage to the drive unit and the control unit.
