WATCH OUT!
This symbol warns of danger of damage that may be caused to or by
outboard motor.
In the following you will find a selection of the most important instructions for handling
of Torqueedo motors. Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete opera-
ting manual to prevent damage to or by your motor.
• Only run the motor when the propeller is under water. If it is run in the air for longer
periods, the shaft sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may be damaged
and there is a risk of motor overheating.
• Cruise R/ Cruise T models are protected against dirt and water according to protection
protection rating IP 67 (30 minutes under water at a depth of 1 meter)
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. Use the tilt mechanism to do so.
• After operation in salty or brackish water, rinse all components with fresh water.
• Use contact spray to care for all electronic contacts every two months.
• You extend the lifespan of your battery if you do not expose it to hot environments for
longer than necessary.
• Comply with the following rules if you are storing your battery for a longer period of
time. Storage for around six months: Charging level when stored 50%. Storage for a
whole year: Charging level when stored 100%. If the battery is to be stored for several
years the charging level should be checked once a year in order to prevent the battery
from deep discharging.
• If the motor has malfunctions an error code is shown on the display. After resolving
the error the motor can be restarted again from the stop-position of the tiller. Depen-
ding on the error code displayed it may be necessary to switch the motor off using the
"on/off" button on the tiller. You find descriptions and details in the "Error messages/
trouble shooting" chapter in this operating manual.
• Do not leave the motor in the water when the boat is moved by other drives (e.g.
while sailing, towing the boat) to prevent damage to the electronics.
• When leaving the boat switch main switch into "OFF" position to prevent accidental
operation of motor and limit battery discharge during storage.
