You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your boat or vessel, and Raptor(s). This product does not relieve you from the
responsibility of safe operation of your boat. It may be hazardous to operate your Raptor in rough or turbulent water conditions, such
as fast currents or changing environmental conditions. Do not deploy your Raptor if these conditions are present, especially when the
underwater topography is unknown. Failure to follow this warning may result in unexpected operation or failure of the Raptor to operate
or anchor and could cause death or serious injury. You must avoid hazards to anchoring and always maintain a permanent watch so you
can maintain proper control of your boat. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your
Minn Kota product in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
The Raptor should be disconnected from the power source when it is not in use or is off the water for more than a month. When
connecting the power-supply cables of the Raptor to the battery or power switch, ensure that they are not kinked or subject to chafe
and route them in such a way that persons cannot trip over them. Before using the Raptor make sure that the insulation of the power
cables is not damaged. Disregarding these safety precautions may result in electric shorts of battery(s) and/or the product. Always
disconnect the Raptor from battery(s) before cleaning or checking the Raptor. In the event of unexpected operation, remove power
leads from the battery. Avoid submerging the Pump Assembly as water may enter, considerable damage to the product can occur. This
damage will not be covered by warranty. The constant noise pressure level of the Raptor during use is less than 70dB(A). The overall

swimming and for floating objects. Persons who lack the ability to run the Raptor or whose reactions are impaired by alcohol, drugs,
