POWERING UP THE TROLLING MOTOR
The Riptide PowerDrive has no power switch. When the Power Cables are connected to a battery, the Riptide PowerDrive is "on". When
the Power Cables are disconnected from the battery, the Riptide PowerDrive is "o". If the Power Cables are connected to a breaker that
is connected to the battery, the Riptide PowerDrive is "on" when the breaker is "on" and "o" when the breaker is "o".
Depth Collar & Depth Collar Knob
The Depth Collar is located on the Shaft above the Steering Housing. It functions to hold the motor at the proper depth while deployed.
It also functions to hold the Lower Unit in place when stowed while not in use and during transport. The Depth Collar Knob is used to
loosen and tighten the Depth Collar so that it can be used to slide up and down the motor shaft.
WARNING
When the motor is being transported, it is important to place the Depth Collar snug against the Steering Housing and tighten. This
provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure
to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.
Deploy-Assist Lever
The Deploy-Assist Lever is located at the top of the mount when the motor is in the stowed position. The Deploy-Assist Lever functions to
unlatch the motor when it is stowed and press on the Latch Collar to assist in deploying the motor. The Deploy-Assist Lever also captures
the Latch Collar when the motor is stowed, holding the motor in place so it can be secured with the Depth Collar.
