permitted for persons that have read and understood these user instructions. Minors may use this motor only under adult supervision.
WARNING
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. We have designed your Minn Kota product to be an accurate
and reliable tool that will enhance boat operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the
responsibility for safe operation of your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can
respond to situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your Minn
Kota product in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
WARNING
Never run the motor out of the water, as this may result in injuries from the rotating propeller. The motor should be disconnected from
the power source when it is not in use or is off the water. When connecting the power-supply cables of the motor to the battery, ensure
that they are not kinked or subject to chafe and route them in such a way that persons cannot trip over them. Before using the motor
make sure that the insulation of the power cables is not damaged. Disregarding these safety precautions may result in electric shorts
of battery(s) and/or motor. Always disconnect motor from battery(s) before cleaning or checking the propeller. Avoid submerging the
complete motor as water may enter the lower unit through control head and shaft. If the motor is used while water is present in the
lower unit considerable damage to the motor can occur. This damage will not be covered by warranty.
WARNING
Take care that neither you nor other persons approach the turning propeller too closely, neither with body parts nor with objects.
The motor is powerful and may endanger or injure you or others. While the motor is running watch out for persons swimming and for
