15 Emergency Situations
15.1 Collision
If the outboard strikes some object beneath the water, please follow below proce-
dures.
1. Stop the outboard immediately and then turn off the main switch.
2. Check the mechanical structure to see if there are damages.
3. Return to the nearest harbor or pier in low power.
4. Call your dealer to check the outboard.
15.2 Sodden Outboard
If the outboard is sodden, stop it immediately and turn off the main switch then dis-
connect the battery. Bring the outboard to the dealer. And ensure the outboard is thor-
oughly inspected before operating it again.
15.3 Low Battery Level
When the battery voltage is lower than 42V, the throttle power will be limited gradually
along with the voltage drop. When the battery voltage drops below 39V, the outboard
will stop automatically to prevent battery over-discharge. If this happens when the
outboard is far away from the shore, and there is an alternative battery, it’s recom-
mended to wait until the battery voltage recovered to 42V or above. You can restart
the outboard with throttle power below 1000W.
15.4 Over-temperature Protection
When the operating temperature is high, the max input power will be limited within
rated power, and the power will decrease with the rise of temperature. If the system
temperature keeps rising and surpasses a threshold, the outboard motor will shut
down automatically to avoid over-temperature. Users should stop operating the out-
board and wait until the temperature falls within the normal range.
