Know your limitations and abilities. • Use good judgement regarding water and wind conditions. Follow recommended safety precautions. • Check your equipment prior to use and always make sure you have safety equipment on board (including a spare paddle). • Never consume alcohol or drugs prior to or during use. • Children should only use this kayak under active adult supervision. • Always have a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) while on board. Children must always wear a PFD. • Do not exceed the recommended capacity of this kayak: 350-400 lbs [158.8-181.4 kg]. MoTor safeTy Guidelines • WarninG: avoid running the motor aground. This could cause damage to motor and/or propeller. • Always have motor cut-off (kill switch) bungee attached to operator. • When not in use, leave motor cut-off in place to prevent battery drainage. • Rinse exterior of boat and motor after use in salt water. • The motor features a sacrificial zinc anode to fight galvanic corrosion. The replaceable anode is conveniently mounted on the prop hub and provides for better protection and longer motor life. Replace anode if it is more than 50% consumed. • Avoid contact with propeller when under power. • Do not exit the kayak when in use or use in the vicinity of swimmers. • Avoid use in shallow water as propeller or motor damage can occur. sTeP 3: With kayak in the water so the propeller does not run aground, put the motor into tankwell (fig. 1), strap it down and plug it in (fig. 2). sTeP 4: Put rudder down and adjust fig. 2 foot pedals to your leg length. sTeP 5: Make sure you have a paddle placed in the back-up paddle storage bungee located on both sides of the tankwell and an approved personal flotation device (PFD). fig. 3 sTeP 6: You are now ready to go. Clip kill switch to your PFD. Use dial to go forward or reverse and find your perfect speed for trolling. (fig. 3) sKeG PluG: The motor can be swapped out with the skeg plug for fig. 4-5 paddling without the motor. (fig. 4-5) | 04 | 05 | 04 | 05 baTTery inforMaTion • Use a 12 volt group 24 deep cycle battery or smaller available at any marine retail store or any battery retailer. • Use only a marine sealed lead-acid or absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. Do not use a non-sealed battery. • Disconnect battery when not in use. • Do not transport kayak with battery. • Do not mount anything to the battery box cover. • Do not use battery box for storage of anything but battery. • Battery should be installed and charged by adults only. • WarninG: Risk of explosive gas mixture. Never smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the vicinity of battery. • Before making any connections to batteries in confined space (such as this kayak’s battery box/compartment) allow it to air out for 15 minutes. • When connecting cables, always connect the red positive ( + ) wires to the red positive ( + ) terminal on the battery and the black negative ( -) wires to the black negative ( -) terminal on the battery. • As a general on the water estimate, the Torque 12 volt motor will pull 25 amps at full speed. The actual ampere draw is subject to your particular environmental conditions and operation requirements. Maintain battery at full charge. Proper care will ensure having battery power when you need it, and will significantly improve the battery life. Failure to recharge lead-acid batteries (within 12-24 hours) is the leading cause of premature battery failure. Use a variable rate charger to avoid overcharging. reCharGinG of baTTery • Follow instructions on your battery charger. • It is strongly recommended to remove the battery from the boat during recharging and transport. If you charge the battery while it is in the craft, be sure to have the battery compartment open and the battery well ventilated. • Unplug the charger before connecting the battery to the charger. • WarninG: Be sure that all electrical connections are not in contact with water as this could result in shock or electrocution.
