Adjusting The Steering; Adjusting The Tilt/Extend Tiller - MINN KOTA TRAXXIS User Manual

ADJUSTING THE STEERING

Adjusting the Steering
Adjust the Steering Tension Knob to provide enough tension to
allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in any position without
being held or tighten the Steering Tension Knob to place the
motor in a preset position to leave your hands free for fishing.

Adjusting the Tilt/Extend Tiller

Your trolling motor features 7 usable handle tilt positions: 45°, 30°, and 15° up and down from the 0° (horizontal) position. To use the
down positions, you must first press the release button located on the left underside of the pivot handle.
Your trolling motor handle also features a unique stow position, that is useful for limiting the amount of space required for storage or
travel.

a. First press the release button located on the left
underside of the pivot handle, then push the handle
down until you feel the handle "lock in" to the
stowed position. This will be almost parallel to the
motor shaft.
b. To extend the handle, pull the handle towards you to
the desired position. The handle will extend a full 6
inches. To retract, push the handle in until it
meets the face of the motor control head.
WARNING
The Traxxis is not intended to be a primary propulsion
motor. Heavy use of the motor can cause elevated motor
temperatures, which can be increased by an excessively hot
operating environment. Use care when handling the Control
Head to avoid burns or injuries from excessive heat. In the
event that the motor or speed control would break, always
be prepared to take manual control of the boat.
Before attempting to put the handle in the stowed position, the speed selector must be in the OFF/STOW position. Failure to do so
will damage the internal mechanism.
