IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please thoroughly read this Installation and Owner's Guide. Follow all instructions and heed all safety and cautionary
notices. Use of this motor is only permitted for persons that have read and understood these instructions. Minors may use this motor
only under adult supervision.
• You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel.
We have designed the MOVE trolling motor to be a high-performance tool to enhance boat operation and improve your
ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation of your boat. You must
avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop.
You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate your MOVE trolling motor in an
area free from hazards and obstacles.
• Never run the motor out of the water, as this may result in injuries from the rotating propeller.
The motor should be disconnected from the power source when it is not in use or is off the water. When connecting the
power-supply cables of the motor to the battery, ensure that they are not kinked or subject to chaffing and route them in
such a way that persons cannot trip over them. Before using the motor, make sure that the insulation of the power cables
is not damaged. Disregarding these safety precautions may result in electric shorts of battery(s) and/or motor. Always
disconnect motor from battery(s) before cleaning or checking the propeller. Avoid submerging the complete motor as
water may enter the lower unit through the control head and shaft.
• Take care that neither you nor the other persons approach the turning propeller too closely, neither
with body parts nor with objects.
The motor is powerful and may endanger you or injure you or others. While the motor is running watch out for persons
swimming and for floating objects. Persons who lack the ability to run the motor or whose reactions are impaired by
alcohol, drugs, medication, or other substances are not permitted to use this motor. This motor is not suitable for use in
strong currents.
• When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.
In the event of unexpected operation, remove power-leads from the battery.
• It is recommended to only use JL Marine approved accessories with your Move trolling motor.
Using non-approved accessories, including to mount or control your motor may cause damage, unexpected motor
operation and injury. Be sure to use the product and approved accessories, including remotes, safely and in the manner
directed to avoid accidental or unexpected motor operation. Keep all factory installed parts in place including motor and
accessory covers, enclosures and guards.
