5. Operating the Flex Drive E
Affix the optional specification sticker to match the battery you are
using. Once the Flex Drive E is properly attached and tightened down
and battery power is connected, confirm that your battery is well-
secured before operation. Make sure the lever is raised so magnetic
key can reach throttle knob.
IMPORTANT: For your safety and to prevent damaging the propeller
during operation, the lanyard attached to the safety key should always
be attached to the deployment lever as shown. This ensures the key will
detach and the motor will shut down should the operator inadvertently
raise the propeller while the motor is running.
(A)
Insert the Magnetic Safety Key (tethered by colored lanyard on
6. operating 2
deployment lever) firmly into the hole in the center of the throttle
knob until it is snug. Turn the throttle knob to neutral/off position for
at least 3 seconds. The time delay is a safety interlock feature to avoid
inadvertent operation/propeller spinning.
(B)
Turn the throttle knob clockwise for forward, counterclockwise for
reverse. The farther you turn the knob in either direction, the greater
the acceleration.
Remove key when motor is not in operation.
