9. Operation
9.1 Transom bracket
The power needed for steering can be adjusted with the friction screw. Turning the screw
clockwise increases the necessary steering power up to locking the motor. Turning
anti-clockwise reduces the necessary steering force.
Pulling the stopper button unlocks the folding mechanism. The drive can be locked into
p
osi
tion at 0°, 8°, 16°, 24°, 36°, 49°, 62° and 75 °. If a boat does not have a vertical
mounting, it is thus possible to adjust the motor to ensure it is at a right angle to the
water surface.
•
When using the tilting mechanism, hold the shaft until you feel it lock
into place.
9.2 Tiller
The tiller can be lifted up two notches by up to 20°.
The opening button on the aluminum tube allows the length of the tiller to be adjusted.
Press this button into the aluminum tube to adjust the length in three stages.
•
Ensure that the button engages again.
You
can shut down the drive quickly by pulling the on/off pin. Simply remove this pin by
pulling it out. The drive will only start again when the pin is re-inserted. The tiller must be
positioned in stop-mode to do this.
The digital power control combines continuously variable speed with fixed locking points
for pre-defined speeds. The following diagram shows the different control points as seen
from the boat.
