TO STOW:
Push down to release tilt lock lever
and raise the motor by pulling up
on the composite shaft or control
head. Pull the motor toward the
stern until it rests securely on the
ramp and the Grip Glide Lever
captures the collar.
TO DEPLOY:
Push firmly down on the Grip Glide
lever to release the collar and slide
the motor forward, out from the
ramp. Lower the motor to the
desired depth. Make sure it clicks
into a secure, vertical position.
TO ADJUST DEPTH:
Firmly grasp and hold the composite shaft
above the PowerDrive housing. Loosen
the depth/drive collar knob until the shaft
slides freely. Raise or lower the motor to
the desired depth. Tighten the
depth/drive collar knob to secure the
motor in place.
TO ADJUST LATCH COLLAR:
The latch collar is adjustable. If needed, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the collar up or
down to re-align the latch and collar. The ideal adjustment is a slightly loose fit that completely
captures the collar.
