In the following you will find a selection of the most important instructions for handling
of Torqeedo motors. Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete opera-
ting manual to prevent damage to or by your motor.
• Only operate the motor while the propeller is submerged in water. If the motor is
running „in air“ for a longer period of time, the shaft seals are getting damaged which
seal the motor at the drive shaft against water intrusion. Additionally, the motor might
overheat.
• Cruise R/ Cruise T models are protected against dirt and water according to protection
rating IP67 (30 minutes under water at a depth of 1 meter)
• After use, always take the motor out of the water. Use the tilt mechanism to do so.
• After operation in salty or brackish water, rinse all components with fresh water.
• You extend the lifespan of your battery if you do not expose it to hot environments for
longer than necessary.
• Comply with the following rules if you are storing your battery for a longer period of
time. Storage for around six months: Charging level when stored 50%. Storage for a
whole year: Charging level when stored 100%. If the battery is to be stored for several
years the charging level should be checked once a year in order to prevent the battery
from deep discharging.
• If the motor has malfunctions an error code is shown on the display. After resolving
the error the motor can be restarted again from the stop-position of the tiller. Depen-
ding on the error code displayed it may be necessary to switch the motor off using the
“on/off” button on the tiller. You find descriptions and details in the “Error messages/
trouble shooting“ chapter in this operating manual.
• Do not leave the motor in the water when the boat is moved by other drives (e.g.
while sailing, towing the boat) to prevent damage to the electronics.
• When leaving the boat turn main switch into ”OFF” position to prevent accidental
operation of motor and limit battery discharge during storage.
• Do not operate the motor and the main switch when completely submerged or perma-
nently exposed to splashing water.
• In order to maintain a smooth movement of the throttle handle we recommend to
keep the area between the handle and the metal base lubricated (e.g. WD40 or Wet-
protect).
• Inspection of sacrificial anode on a regular basis, at least every 6 months. Replace if
needed.
• If you charge your batteries, please make sure to use only galvanically insulated
chargers. Your dealer can probably assist you in selecting the proper charger. Fur-
thermore, turn the main switch of the cable set in the „off“ position in order to avoid
damages due to electrolysis while charging.
• When using the Torqeedo Cruise in conjuction with a Torqeedo Power battery, a one-
time registration (Enumeration) of the batteries is necessary in order to establish the
communication between the components. See chapter 5.3.1.1.
