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 the motor from the battery(s) before cleaning or checking the propeller. Avoid submerging the
complete motor as water may enter the lower unit through the 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

or injure you or others. While the motor is running watch out for person swimming and for floating objects. Persons whose ability to run the motor or whose reactions are
