• Never operate the motor if someone is in the water close to the boat. • Do not use the motor as a fixing point for your boat; never use the motor as a handle to lift or tow smaller boats. Important operating instructions Here are the most important instructions on operating Torqeedo Cruise motors. Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete operating instructions to prevent damage to your motor. • Only run the motor when the propeller is under water. If it is run in the air, the shaft sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may become damaged.

In the following, this is stated in watt-hours [Wh]. The number of watt-hours can easily be matched with the input power of the motor in watts [W]: The Cruise 2.0 R has an input power of 2,000 W and consumes 2,000 Wh in one hour at full speed. The Cruise 4.0 R has an input power of 4,000 W and consumes 4,000 Wh in one hour at full speed.

In extreme cases this could even cause fire or injury. • When working with or near batteries avoid wearing metal jewelry and laying tools on the batteries as this could result in a short circuit. Operating Manual Cruise 2.0 R / 4.0 R...
The Cruise 4.0 R operates with a power supply of between 42 V and 58 V (relating to the nominal voltage). That means it can be operated with four serial configured 12 V batteries. To increase the capacity it is possible to switch several pairs of serial connected 12 V batteries in parallel to each other. 1. Make sure the main switch of the cable set is in the off or zero position. If necessary, switch it to the off or zero position. 2. Connect your cable set in line with the following drawings for your Cruise 2.0 R or 4.0 R an. 12 V battery Cable set Bridging cable 12 V battery Connecting Cruise 2.0 R to two 12 V batteries...

The batteries are now in serial connected to each other: The battery capacity [Wh] and the voltage [V] of the battery block increase with the number of in serial connected batteries. The battery charge [Ah] is not changed by serial configuration (e.g. two in serial configured 12 V / 100 Ah batteries, each with 1,200 Wh, have 24 V, 100 Ah and 2,400 Wh after the serial configuration). Operating Manual Cruise 2.0 R / 4.0 R...
To increase the capacity, you can configure up to four Torqeedo Power batteries parallel to each other. To connect the Cruise 2.0 R / 4.0 R to one or two Torqeedo Power 26-77 batteries you also need an adapter cable set / Power battery (available as an accessory).

Cruise R are, as with most leisure maritime products, classed as “seawater resistant”, not “seawater-proof”. • After use, you should always take the motor out of the water. You can do this using the tilt mechanism of the transom bracket. • After use in salt or brackish water rinse the motor with fresh water. • Only store the motor in a dry condition. • Treat all electronic parts with contact spray once a month.
