Motor Maintenance. We recommend after use to rinse motor to
remove sand and other debris. Check the propeller for line or weeds.
Regularly check for loose fasteners, corroded or loose terminal
connections and frayed wires. Keep moving parts lubricated. An
aerosol lubricant works well.
Electrical Connections. Before removing or installing the battery,
ensure that all switches are in the OFF position and have the propeller
area clear. If replacing or adding a battery, we highly recommend
ordering your battery from Go-Float to ensure safety and good
performance. (See page 15)
