  • Page 6 This symbol warns against possible risks of damage to your outboard system or injuries arising as a result. In the following, please find important operating instructions for Torqeedo DEEP BLUE motors systems. In addition to these, please also respect the entire operating manual to prevent any damage to your motor.

  • Page 7: Legally Prescribed Information

    • Please use emergency stop switch solely in real emergency situations. Repeated pres- sing of emergency stop switch at high power burdens the system and may potentially lead to damage and thus to repair works of the battery electronics. 2. Legally prescribed information 2.1 Identification and technical data Identification plates indicating model type and designation can be found at location indicated in the drawing.

    4. Operation 4.1 Startup • Check cable protection hose leading to outboard for possible damage • Check function of emergency stop switch • Check steering system function • In case of visible damage of system components or cables neither charge the battery nor switch on the system • Fix red emergency stop lanyard to your wrist, or on your life jacket • Only use the battery at temperatures between -25°C and +55°C (-13 °F and +131 °F). • Check condition of sacrificial anode. • Ensure that the propeller is not damaged. • Never operate the propeller out of the water. Take care that trim position of the motor is in the right position before starting. To start the motor: • Ensure that remote throttle is in neutral position • Ensure Emergency Stop Switch is engaged...

  • Page 12: Driving And Operation

    The lithium high voltage battery is switched on by the 12 V battery whenever the motor is started. In the event of extended storage, regularly check whether charging level of this battery is sufficient. During operation of the DEEP BLUE System, 12 V battery is automatically being recharged. Behaviour of your electric motor differs from that of gasoline-driven engines.

    Power trim function (around 0° - 15°, slow tilt motion): Can be operated when driving the boat. Allows fine tuning between the boat‘s hull and the propeller‘s angle in the water. Allows optimization of driving behaviour and efficiency. Power tilt function (around 15° - 80°, fast tilt motion): To be used in stationary position of the boat to tilt the outboard out of the water. Protects underwater components of the motor against additional wear, aging, algae growth, etc.

    4. Start charging operation by switching On/Off switch on the Charger screen to On. 5. To finish charging operation for full charging of batteries, switch the On/Off switch in charger display to Off and then pull the plug out of the socket. After full charging of battery remove power cable from socket. Although DEEP BLUE high-voltage batteries are protected against deep discharge, self-discharge occurs to a certain extent. To prevent damage of the battery, please respect the following advice: • Recharge batteries after every trip. In case the batteries should be discharged down to less than 20 %, recharging must occur within 48 hours.

  • Page 22: Use Of The 12 V Battery

    12 V circuit for the on-board electrical system. In doing so, you avoid an unintentional discharge of the 12 V battery that is integrated into the DEEP BLUE system (and that is required to switch on the high voltage lithium batteries).

  • Page 23: Emergencies

    The 12 V battery connected to the DEEP BLUE system must have a charging end voltage of at least 13.8 V or more, a capacity of at least 40 Ah and a current carrying capacity of at least 100 A.

  • Page 24: Maintenance And Service

    7. Maintenance and service • In case the high voltage battery should be mechanically damaged, please do not use the DEEP BLUE system any more. Get in touch with Torqeedo Service. • High voltage components of DEEP BLUE systems are watertight (battery IP 67, charger IP 67, connection box IP 66 protected). However avoiding permanent exposure of high voltage components to water is necessary. • Always keep high voltage components (batteries, connection box, charger) of DEEP BLUE system clean and free from dirt.
