SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
If the control box falls into water, it must be serviced by a professional
electrician.
Only use this product between -20°C to +45°C (-4°F to + 113°F).
Only use certified replacement parts.
Always disconnect power from the motor when replacing propeller, removing
debris from the prop, charging the batteries, transporting the boat, and when
the motor is not in use.
To reduce the risk of injury, people should not be close to the propeller when
the product is in operation.
People with long hair should tie up or wear swimming caps when using the
product or near it.
The motor can only be used in water between 0.8m and 5.0m depth.
Users should always wear approved life jackets.
WIRING AND BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE: The motor is sold without battery.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of injury, ensure the battery lead wire is correctly
connected.
Battery Type
Recommended battery(s): 12V deep cycle battery or marine battery, with at
least 50A hour rating or higher. To extend the running time an additional
battery can be used.
Circuit Protection
It is recommended to install a 50A manual reset circuit breaker to the electric
outboard motor leads within 1.8m (72 inches) of the battery(s).
Cable Size
If extending the standard battery cable supplied with the motor we
recommend the use of 13mm wire (6-gauge wire, AWG).

WARNING: Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which can cause severe burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. The battery also produces
hydrogen and oxygen gases when being charged. This potentially explosive
mixture escapes through the fill vent cell caps and may form an explosive
atmosphere around the battery for several hours after it has been charged.
Electrical arcing or flames can ignite gas and cause an explosion, which may
shatter the battery and could cause blindness or other serious injury.
WARNING: Be sure all switches are in the OFF position before connecting to
battery or batteries. Electrical arcing near the battery could ignite hydrogen
gas and cause the battery to explode.
