1. Important safety and operating instructions
DANGER
This symbol warns about any danger of injury to you and
other people.
Torqeedo motors are designed to operate safely and reliably as long as they are used
according to the operating manual. Please read this manual carefully before you start the
motor. Ignoring these instructions can cause property damage or personal injury. Torqee-
do accepts no liability for any damage caused by actions that contradict this operating
manual.
To ensure safe operation of the motor:
• Check the status and function of the outboard motor (including emergency stop switch)
before each use.
• Please note that the GPS-based range calculation is subject to constant currents and
winds. Changes to the direction of travel, currents and wind directions may significant-
ly affect the displayed remaining range.
• If you are running the motor at full throttle in high ambient temperatures, the motor
may reduce speed automatically to reduce battery temperature. A blinking thermome-
ter in the display informs about this operation (temperature, protection, mode).
• Familiarize yourself with all the motor controls. For instance, you should be able to
stop the motor quickly if necessary.
• Only allow adults who have been instructed on how to operate the motor to run it.
• Follow the boat manufacturer's instructions on the permissible motorization of your
boat. Do not exceed the capacity limits.
• Stop the motor immediately if someone goes overboard.
• Never operate the motor if someone is in the water close to the boat.
• In addition to these selected warnings, please comply with the complete operating
manual.
