1. After use, the entire motor should be rinsed with freshwater, then wiped down with a cloth dampened with an aqueous based

silicone spray. This series of motors is not equipped for saltwater exposure.

2. The propeller must be inspected and cleaned from weeds and ﬁ shing line after every use.

Fishing line and weeds can get behind the prop, damage the seals and allow water to enter the motor.

3. Verify the prop nut is secure each time the motor is used.

4. To prevent accidental damage during transportation or storage, disconnect the battery whenever the motor is oﬀ of the water.

For prolonged storage, lightly coat all metal parts with an aqueous based silicone spray.

5. For maximum battery life recharge the battery(s) as soon as possible after use. For maximum motor performance restore

battery to full charge prior to use.

6. Keep battery terminals clean with ﬁ ne sandpaper or emery cloth.

7. The propeller is designed to provide weed free operation with very high eﬃ ciency. To maintain this top performance, the

leading edge of the blades must be kept smooth. If they are rough or nicked from use, restore to smooth by sanding with ﬁ ne

sandpaper.
