10 DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Check behind the propeller after each day for weeds, fishing line
or other debris that may get wrapped behind the propeller.

Never use an aerosol lubricant as many types contain harmful
propellants that can cause damage to various parts of your
electric motor.

manufacturer’s recommendations for battery maintenance.
