8. Starting up 8.1 Fitting the drive onto the boat • Only operate the gas spring tilt mechanism when the motor is mounted roughly vertically. Otherwise, the strong pre-tension of the gas pressure springs will cause the tilt mechanism to flip up rapidly. This can cause serious injury.
8. Starting up • First, release the clamping screws on the tiller and tilt the tiller right up. This is how you ensure the tiller does not hit parts of your boat when you tilt the motor. • Now hold on to the rear side of the Hold on here transom mount with one hand and use the other hand to press the release...

8. Starting up We recommend that you achieve the required battery capacity in Wh using as few parallel connections as possible with as few batteries as possible. So, to give yourself a battery capacity of e.g. 4,800 Wh (at 24 V) it is better to use two 12 V / 200 Ah batteries rather than several parallel and serially linked batteries (e.g.
8.3 Connecting the Cruise 2.0 to lead batteries (acid, gel, AGM) using the Torqeedo cable set The Cruise 2.0 operates with a power supply of between 20 V and 0 V (relating to the nominal voltage). That means it can be operated with two serially configured 12 V lead- acid, lead-gel or AGM batteries.

8. Starting up 12 V battery Battery cable set 12 V battery Connection of Cruise 2.0 to two 12 V batteries Optional expansion of the battery capacity with parallel configuration using additional 12 V battery pairs. • Serial and parallel configured batteries must always have the same charge condition.
The master switch and the fuse must be designed for a permanent load of 125 A. Torqeedo accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to provide or inadequate fuses, failure to provide or inadequate master switches, cable cross sections that are too small or unsuitable contacts.
The Cruise 2.0 operates with a power supply of between 20 V and 0 V (relating to the nominal voltage). This means it can also be operated with a Torqeedo Power 26-77 lithium-manganese (LIMA)-based battery. To increase the capacity, you can configure several Torqeedo Power batteries parallel to each other.
The cable set comes complete with a CF8 15 A fuse. In case of a short circuit, the fuse cuts the circuit and prevents any further damage. You can extend the capacity using a parallel configuration of up to four Torqeedo Power Batteries from the „User Installation (UI)“ series in the same way as described under 8. (Connecting the Cruise 2.0 to lead batteries).

8. Starting up 9. Operation The tilt mechanism allows both tilting and trimming the motor. You can tilt the motor to remove it from the water (e.g. when it is not in use or when you land the boat in shallow water). If it is not in use for longer periods of time, we recommend fixing the motor at the 75°...
9.2 Tiller Control the drive power by turning the tiller handle. The propeller speed and direction of turn (forward/backward) can be controlled in an infinitely variable way. Corresponding markings on the tiller handle indicate this. • The high thrust power of the drive makes it necessary to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of your Cruise 2.0.
9. Operation 9.3 Pylon The motor and the electronic control system are located in the pylon. They generate the propulsion. In addition, several protective functions are integrated: 1. Temperature protection: If the motor overheats, the motor control system reduces the output of the drive until a temperature equilibrium is established between generated and disposed heat.
• 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 are damaged. If the motor is run in the air for a longer period, the motor itself can overheat.
• We recommend checking the sacrificial anode once a year. The sacrificial anode is fitted to the drive shaft of the propeller. Only use Torqeedo sacrificial anodes - you can order these from your dealer or the Torqeedo Service Team.

12. Trouble shooting 13. Technical data • Repairs may only be carried out by authorized Torqeedo Service Centers. Should you attempt to carry out repairs or conversions yourself, this immediately cancels the warranty. • In case of a warranty claim, please follow the warranty instructions at the beginning of the instruction manual.
14. Disposal instructions Torqeedo Cruise motors are manufactured in accordance with EU Directive 2002/96. This directive regulates the disposal of electrical and electronic devices for the protection of the environment. You can, in line with regional regulations, hand in the motor at a collecting point.
