The motor head will create a pinch point if the Steering
Tension Knob is loosened and the motor head slides to the
top of the Quick Release Depth Collar. 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.

Adjusting the Steering

Adjust the Steering Tension Knob to provide enough tension to
allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in any position without
being held or tighten the knob to place the motor in a preset
position to leave your hands free for fishing.
