Important installation instructions:
• The outboard motor can be taken only after mounting a motor in operation. For this purpose, the engine
cover must be removed by lifting it upwards until it is released.
• Solder the power cables to the motor taking care to maintain correct polarity, and arrange them in such a
way that they can be routed through the small rectangular cut-out in the motor cover.
• Attach the outboard motor to the transom of the boat's hull using two to four screws. The slots in the motor
mount allow height adjustment for trimming. The thrust angle of the outboard motor can be adjusted by
loosening the cheesehead screw on the motor mount.
• The steering movement of the outboard motor is controlled by the two lateral linkage lugs, and it is impor-
tant that there should be no slop in the linkage. We recommend that you connect the steering pushrod to the
outboard motor and the servo output arm using pushrod connectors, Order No. 1173.
• The openings in the hull for the power cables and rudder linkage must be carefully sealed with rubber
grommets or bellows to prevent water penetrating the hull.
• At the side of the outboard motor shaft, close to the motor mount, you will find a small hole through which
you can access the flexi-shaft clamping screw using a 1.5 mm allen key. The clamping screw must always
be tightened very firmly, otherwise the flexi-shaft might slip inside the coupling. If you wish to remove the
flexi-shaft, unscrew the shaft bearing from the shaft using an A/F spanner, and withdraw the shaft and the
flexi-shaft which is glued into it. Caution: the shaft bearing has a left-hand thread. This means that you have
to turn the spanner clockwise in order to undo and remove it.
• Do not run the outboard motor on its full operating voltage under no-load conditions (i.e. out of water), as
this would allow the system to spin up to excessive speed which could damage the flexi-shaft.
• Do not cover or otherwise seal the cooling holes in the housing cover, as this would cause the motor to
overheat.
• The outboard motor is designed for use with a surface-piercing propeller, i.e. only the lower propeller blade
is submerged at any one time when the boat is running.
• The motor system is designed for forward running only. Running the motor in reverse may damage the
flexi-shaft.
• The flexi-shaft and the shaft bearing should be lubricated occasionally using non-contaminating grease
(e.g. Order No. 570). Access to these parts is possible by removing the flexi-shaft as described above.
• Ensure that the propeller does not contact any objects or parts of your body when the motor is running.
• The operating voltage range is 6 - 9.6 Volts do not exceed the stated voltage.
• Take care not to overload the motor, i.e. more than 12 A continuous current, as this may wreck the motor
• Never run the outboard motor in salt water
• After every run remove any water which manages to get inside the case. A few drops of water will not
damage the motor, but it should be dried out after use.
