OPERATING TIPS

Withpropercareandusage,yourMotorLiunitwillprovideyouwithyearsoftrouble-freeuse.Thereare
twomaincausesoffailurewhereprecauonisrequired.

1. Trailering
Theactuatorusedinyourmotorliisaprecisionengineeredelectro-mechanicaldevicethatcandeliver
upto5,000lbsofforceforhighspeedtrimming.Throughauniquelinearballscrewgearmechanism,the
actuatorisdesignedto“park”whereyouputitanditshouldneversele.

However,aswithoriginalequipmenttrimandlts,theunitisnotdesignedtosupportyourmotorwhen
trailering.Traileringcanexertsignificantforcesonyouroutboardthatcancausedamagetothemotorli
mechanismandtotheoutboarditself.Thereforewhentrailering,always trailer with the motor in the
fully lowered posion oruseatransomsupportbracket.(Pantheroffersthe55-1900orthe55-2100
