4. TROUBLE SHOOTING
During the usage of the electric outboard motor, the propeller is possible to get stuck by weeds, fishing lines or
fishing webs. Sometimes due to the variance of the water depth, the propeller is covered by the silt. If any of those
situations stated above happens, please disconnect the battery in time and clean up the propeller. (Please DO NOT
rise steps and increase the thrust of electric outboard motor to solve the problem, it may cause permanent damages
to the electric outboard motor.)
OPERATION ERROR INDICATION
The motor has an operation indicator function, and it will automatically stop if the following error occurs.
 Power indicator is off. The motor does not work. Check and make sure the power cable is well connected.
 All power level lights are off. Only red light is on. Motor does not work. Check the battery voltage.
 Motor internal voltage protection is on. Motor does not work. Check the battery voltage.
 The speed control handle is not at the Neutral position. Turn it to the Neutral, and a “beep” will sound.
 A running motor suddenly stops at the current speed. Return the speed control handle to its Neutral position
and start again.
 A running motor frequently stops. Check the propeller to make sure no fishing line or weeds blocking it.
Otherwise, it may trigger the high current protection mode.
