USING & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR

When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts. Practice proper ergonomics
when stowing and deploying the motor to prevent injury.
Moving the motor creates a variety of pinch points. The Control Head will create a pinch point if the Depth Adjustment Knob is
loosened and the Control Head slides to the top of the Mount. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from sliding all the way down to prevent
the pinch point. Grasp the motor away from the area that may come in contact with another area of the motor to prevent injury.
When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it is important to place the motor completely out of water. The motor should
be positioned up close to the Mount. Always secure the Depth Adjustment Knob and slide the collar down to the top of the Mount for
added security during transport and then secure the Hold Down Strap. This provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during
transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the
unit.
