FIRST TIME RUNNING

BATTERY CONNECTION METHOD

Before connecting the motor's cables to the battery, ensure switch is in the OFF position and stand clear of the
propeller. Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black cable to the negative (-) terminal, making
sure the terminals are clean before doing so. A clean connection will minimize power wastage and give you
maximum power from the battery. (A). The battery should be kept in a well-ventilated location. We recommend
using a special deep cycle marine battery for optimum performance.

ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO YOUR BOAT

Attach the motor to the stern of the boat and tighten both mounting bolts securely while taking care not to
over-tighten. To adjust the angle of the motor after attachment, hold the motor head with one hand and depress
the positioning pin at the top of the mounting bracket with your other hand. Press and hold the positioning pin until
the desired angle has been reached, next release the pin and ensure the mechanism locks securely. (B)
Warning: Before the installation, make sure the area between the boat wall and the motor bracket is
clear.
