Important safety instructions
Torqeedo motors are designed to operate safely and reliably as long as they are used
according to the operating manual. Please read this manual carefully before you start
the motor. Ignoring these instructions can cause property damage or personal injury.
Torqeedo accepts no liability for any damage caused by actions that contradict this
operating manual.
To ensure safe operation of the motor:
• Familiarizeyourselfwithallthemotorcontrols.Forinstance,youshouldbeabletostop
the motor quickly if necessary.
• Pleasenotethattheinformationonthebatterychargeandremainingrangeontheremote
throttle’s display are estimated values. Depending on the quality of the batteries and their
age, the actual charging level and range may deviate from the displayed values.
• Notethattheon-boardcomputerdoesnotincludechangestocurrentsandwindcondi-
tions in the range calculation. If you are moving with the wind or current the remaining
range is calculated assuming you continue going with the wind or current. If you change
your direction or if winds/currents change, your remaining range may be significantly
lower. Therefore note the effect that the wind and current along your route have on your
range.

operating manual.
• TosupplypowertoyourCruise2.0Ryounormallyneedtwoormorebatteries(24V

ge). It is essential when linking up the batteries that you only combine the same kind of
batteries (same capacity, same age, same manufacturer, same charge status). Different
charge conditions between batteries linked together can, when the batteries are linked
up, lead to extremely high compensating currents or overloads on the cables, plugs,
master switch or the battery itself. In extreme cases this could even cause fire or injury.
Therefore always follow the instructions in Sections 8.5 to 8.7 of this operating manual.
