DANGER

This symbol warns about any danger of injury to you and other people.

Torqueedo 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:

  • Check the status and function of the outboard motor (including emergency stop switch) before each use.
  • Please note that the GPS-based range calculation is subject to constant currents and winds. Changes to the direction of travel, currents and wind directions may significantly affect the displayed remaining range.
  • If you are running the motor at full throttle in high ambient temperatures, the motor may reduce speed automatically to reduce battery temperature. A blinking thermometer in the display informs about this operation (temperature, protection, mode).
  • Familiarize yourself with all the motor controls. For instance, you should be able to stop the motor quickly if necessary.
  • Only allow adults who have been instructed on how to operate the motor to run it.
  • Follow the boat manufacturer's instructions on the permissible motorization of your boat. Do not exceed the capacity limits.
  • Stop the motor immediately if someone goes overboard.
  • Never operate the motor if someone is in the water close to the boat.
  • In addition to these selected warnings, please comply with the complete operating manual.
  • Torpeedo has the right to refuse warranty claims in cases where the object of purchase was in any way retrofitted, modified, or equipped with other parts or accessories not expressly approved or recommended by Torpeedo.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - DANGER - 1

WATCH OUT!

This symbol warns of danger of damage that may be caused to or by outboard motor.

In the following you will find a selection of the most important instructions for handling of Torqueedo motors. Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete operating 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, the motor should as a general rule, be taken out of the water. Use the tilt mechanism to do so.
  • Rinse the motor with fresh water after operation in salt water or brackish 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. Depending 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. It is additionally mandatory to completely switch off the Power 26-104.
  • Do not operate the motor and the main switch when completely submerged or permanently 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. Furthermore, 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 Torpeedo Cruise in conjunction with a Torpeedo 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.

Cruise T: Connecting of tiller

Place tiller from above – without force – into the allotted seats in shaft head and tilt it forward. Connect tiller data cable with socket in shaft head cover. Use the fixing pin to secure the tiller against falling out accidentally.

4.5 Basic information on battery supply

Principally, Cruise R and Cruise T models may be operated with lead-acid, lead-gel, AGM or lithium-based batteries.

For performance and ease of operation reasons, Torqeedo recommends to connect the Power 26-104 (cf. chapter 4.6).

You may, however, also connect conventional lithium based batteries as well as lead-acid, lead-gel or AGM batteries without any problem (chapter 4.7)

4.5.1 Short remarks on battery supply

In general the Cruise models can be operated with lead-gel, AGM or lithium-based batteries.

We do not recommend using starter batteries as they can be damaged after a few cycles if the discharge is lower. If lead-based batteries are to be used we recommend so-called "traction batteries" or "deep cycle batteries" that have been designed for an average depth of discharge per cycle of 80 % as they are used for example in fork lift trucks. So-called "marine" batteries can also be used. Here we recommend higher nominal capacities (at least 180 Ah) so as not to exceed a 50 % depth of discharge.

To calculate the travel times and range of the batteries, you need to know the battery capacity. In the following, this is stated in watt-hours [Wh]. The number of watt-hours can easily be matched with the input power of the motor in watts [W]: The Cruise 2.0 R has an input power of 2,000 W and consumes 2,000 Wh in one hour at full speed. The Cruise 4.0 R has an input power of 4,000 W and consumes 4,000 Wh in one hour at full speed. The nominal capacity of a battery [Wh] is calculated by multiplying the charge [Ah] with the nominal voltage [V]. So a battery with 12 V and 100 Ah has a nominal capacity of 1,200 Wh.

In general, lead-acid, lead-gel and AGM batteries do not fully provide the battery's calculated nominal capacity. This is in particular due to the high current capabilities of lead batteries. In order to counteract this effect we recommend using larger batteries. For lithium based batteries this effect is negligible.

In addition to the actual available battery capacity of the boat type, the selected output level (lower life and range at higher speed) and the external temperature also play an important role for the range and life expected.

We recommend that you achieve the required battery capacity in Wh using as few parallel connections as possible with as few big batteries as possible. So, to give yourself a battery capacity of e.g. 4,800 Wh (at 24 V) it is better to use two 12 V / 200 Ah batteries rather than several parallel and serial linked batteries (e.g. four 12 V / 100 Ah batteries). Firstly, this avoids safety risks from battery configurations. And secondly, capacity differences between the batteries that already exist at the time of the configuration or that develop later have a negative effect on the overall battery system (capacity loss, also called drifting). When charging your battery, make sure to only use galvanic isolated chargers. If you charge your batteries, please make sure to use only galvanically insulated chargers. We recommend the use of one battery charger per 12-V battery. Your dealer can probably assist you in selecting the proper charger. Furthermore, turn the main switch of the cable set in the „off“ position in order to avoid damages due to electrolysis while charging.

4.5.2 Serial/parallel linking of batteries

To avoid safety risks, capacity losses and contact point losses with serial and parallel battery configurations, always only combine the same type of batteries (same capacity, same age, same manufacturer, same state of charge).

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Serial/parallel linking of batteries - 1

  • Serial and parallel configured batteries must always have the same state of charge. That is why you must use only the same type of batteries in configurations (same capacity, same age, same manufacturer, same state of charge) and fully charge each battery separately in your charger before you connect it up. Differences in the state of charge can lead to extremely high compensatory currents or overloads on the cables and plugs or the battery itself. In extreme cases this could even cause fire or injury.
  • When working with or near batteries avoid wearing metal jewelry and laying tools on the batteries as this could result in a short circuit.
  • When connecting batteries ensure the right polarity.
  • Only use Torpeedo cable set. When using different cables there is a risk of wrong dimensioning and local overheating and even fire. When using other cables consult a specialist.

4.6 Connecting of Cruise R/T to Power 26-104 lithium battery/batteries

Congratulations! You have opted for the state-of-the-art battery technology!

4.6.1 Cruise 2.0 R/T

Cruise 2.0 R/T operates with a power supply of between 20 V and 30 V (referring to nominal voltage). This means it may be operated with at least one Torpeedo Power 26-104 lithium-battery.

Please be aware that you need to establish communication between outboard and battery as described in chapter 5.3.1.1.

Notes:

  • Adapter cable set / Power battery is provided with a 125 A fuse. In case of shortcircuits, fuse will cut the electrical circuit to prevent further damage.
  • You may also connect several Power 26-104 to your outboard. More information please find in operating manual of Power 26-104.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Notes: - 1

- Incorrect configuration of lithium batteries leads to much higher short circuit currents than configurations with lead batteries. That is why you must follow the installation instructions very carefully and only use the Torpeedo cable set to connect up your motor.

4.6.2 Cruise 4.0 R/T

Cruise 4.0 R/T operates with a power supply of between 42 V and 58 V (referring to nominal voltage). This means it may be operated with at least two Power 26-104 lithium-batteries.

Connecting of Cruise 4.0 R/T to 2 Power 26-104 takes place analogically to connection of Cruise 2.0 R/T (refer to chapter 4.6.1). Moreover please connect both Power 26-104 from positive terminal of first battery to negative terminal of second battery with cable bridge. Moreover, also connect both data sockets of Power batteries to each other. Terminal connection will then be as follows:

When using the Cruise with different batteries, make sure to connect the data cable coming from the remote throttle directly to the motor.

4.7 Connecting of Cruise R/T to lead batteries (Gel, AGM), or conventional lithium batteries

Cruise 2.0 R/T operates with a power supply of between 20 V and 30 V (referring to nominal voltage). This means it may be operated with serially connected 12 V batteries.

Cruise 4.0 R/T operates with a power supply of between 42 V and 58 V (referring to nominal voltage). This means it may be operated with four serially connected 12 V batteries.

To increase capacity, several pairs of serially connected 12V batteries may be connected in parallel.

  1. Make sure that main switch of cable set is in "OFF" position; otherwise switch it into "OFF" position.
  2. Connect cable set according to the following drawings for Cruise 2.0 R/T respectively 4.0 R/T. Pay attention to correct polarity of terminals and terminal posts, connection of positive and negative terminal posts (visible on imprint of batteries and terminal posts)

When using the Cruise with different batteries, make sure to connect the data cable coming from the remote throttle directly to the motor.

If you are using a Cruise T, the data connector under- neath the shaft head stays obsolete.

Optional extension of the battery capacity via parallel connection with 12 V batteries

  1. Now connect the high current plug of the cable set to the high current plug of the motor.
  2. Switch the master switch of the cable set to the "ON" position.

Now batteries are serially connected with each other: Battery capacity [Wh] and voltage [V] of battery block rise with the number of serially connected batteries.

Charge [Ah] of batteries does not change with serial connection (for instance: after serial connection, two serially connected 12 V/100 Ah batteries of 1,200 Wh each will have 24 V, 100 Ah and 2,400 Wh).

Cable set is equipped with a 125 A fuse. In case of a short circuit, fuse cuts circuit and prevents any further damage.

After battery installation transfer battery bank data, via remote throttle, to on-board computer (chapter 5.3, „Set-up mode“) to be up to date about state of charge and range.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Connecting of Cruise R/T to lead batteries (Gel, AGM), or conventional lithium batteries - 4

  • Serial and parallel configured batteries must always have the same state of charge. That is why you must use only the same type of batteries in configurations (same capacity, same age, same manufacturer, same state of charge) and fully charge each battery separately in your charger before you connect it up. Differences in the state of charge can lead to extremely high compensatory currents or overloads on the cables and plugs or the battery itself. In extreme cases this could even cause fire or injury.
  • Cable cross section for interconnection of batteries must be 25 mm ^2 . Take care that battery poles are clean and corrosion free.
  • Firmly tighten screws of battery terminals for fixing to battery poles.
  • Disconnect the battery when leaving the boat for a longer time.

4.8 Prevention of damage when connecting other devices to traction batteries

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Prevention of damage when connecting other devices to traction batteries - 1

Torpeedo recommends running the Cruise 2.0/2.0 R on its own battery bank. Other devices such as fish finders, lights, radio, etc. should be supplied with an additional battery and not be connected to the same battery bank as the motor.

Connecting other devices to the same battery bank causes uneven discharge of an individual battery as well as the risk of electrolysis in case of incorrect wiring.

If it is still desired to use a 12 V or a 24 V device on one or two batteries of the same battery bank as the motor, the different equipment(s) and outboard motor must share the same negative terminal of battery bank („common ground“). See the following figure:

4.9 Using solar panels and generators

Solar panels and generators can only be used if a battery bank is connected between them and the motor. The battery bank will even out voltage peaks of the solar panels and generators (acts as a buffer) which will avoid damages due to overvoltage.

Use a Torqueedo charger to charge Power 26-104 from generator. Do not connect generators directly with Power 26-104. To connect the Power 26-104 with a solar charger a specified solar charge controller is available. Never connect a solar panel directly to the Power 26-104; and never connect any solar battery chargers to the Cruise.

5.3.1 Use of battery charge display when operating with Power 26-104 battery

5.3.1.1 Establishing communication between Power 26-104 and Cruise outboards / Enumeration

Please check whether the batteries are physically existent and have all been switched on. Commissioning only works if the system is able to communicate with the existing batteries.

To establish communication between battery and outboard, a one-time calibration is necessary.

Switch the main switch of your system to the ON position.

Then push the following buttons in rapid succession: first the ON-OFF push-button underneath the display (in the remote throttle control or on the peen), and right afterwards (briefly) the CAL push-button underneath the display.

The screen will now change to ENU and display the start of the enumeration procedure. The components establish the communication with each other automatically. The screen will display the progress of the enumeration in percent and the number of detected batteries.

After the process is completed, the progress counter shows 100% and the number of connected batteries.

Restart the system after completion of the process by pushing the ON-OFF push-button. Motor and battery are now communicating directly with each other. This enables you – among others – to look up the charge state of your batteries on the display.

Please note the following: If you want to operate the Cruise with a different battery bank, enumeration must be repeated. Otherwise, error E84 will be displayed.

Please be aware, that for older Cruise models, the communication between outboard and Power 26-104 may not be available. Contact Torpeedo Service for questions.

5.3.2 Use of battery charge display when operating with other batteries

5.3.2.1 Set-up of battery charge

The following set up steps are necessary before first commissioning:

  1. To enter the setup menu press the "setup" button.
  2. Select the units in which the remaining range is displayed. Push the button in the center of the display to select between kilometers, miles, nautical miles, and hours. You confirm your selection by pressing "setup" again.
  3. Now, enter the speed indicator setting. You can choose between kilometers per hour, miles per hour, and knots. Again you select the units with central button. Confirm your selection by pressing "setup" again.

  4. Then, choose whether the battery status shall be displayed in percent or in volts.

  5. The next step is to supply the on-board computer with information about the batteries. Start with entering whether the motor is connected with lithium batteries from the Torqueedo power series or with lead-gel or AGM batteries. Select "Li" for lithium or "Pb" for lead-gel or AGM batteries. Confirm your selection by pressing "setup" again.

  6. Enter the size of the battery bank with which the motor is connected. For this enter ampere-hours (Ah) for the battery bank. Please use the throttle lever to select the correct number of ampere-hours. Pushing the "setup" button will confirm your selection and exit the setup-menu. Please note that for instance a battery bank consisting of two serially connected batteries of 12 volt and 200 Ah each has a total capacity of 200 Ah with 24 volt (not 400 Ah)

The capacity in percent and the remaining range can only be displayed after completing the setup and after the first calibration (entering the charge level, see capter 5.3.3.2).

5.3.2.2 Usage and calibration of battery charge display

Having entered the battery information in the setup-menu, the on-board computer now knows the capacity of the battery bank. When the motor is in use, the on-board computer measures the consumed power and determines the remaining battery charge in percent and the remaining range based on the current speed.

The calculation of the remaining range takes into account the fact that lead-based batteries do not provide their full capacity at higher electrical currents. Depending on the battery used this effect may result in the battery charge indicator showing a relatively high charge level in percent but the remaining range at full throttle is very low. By moving slower you can still use the available battery charge.

To use the indicator of the battery charge status and remaining range in your Cruise, your assistance is required in two ways:

  1. Whenever you start a journey with fully charged batteries, information that the batteries are charged needs to be entered into the system. To do so press the "cal" button in the center of the display before the journey begins. The display shows the value 100% for the charge level. To confirm the value and exit the calibration menu press the "cal" button again.

As deep discharges of lead-based batteries adversely affect the lifespan of the batteries, we recommend starting a journey whenever possible with fully charged batteries. When you switch the motor on without having charged the batteries since the last use (e.g. when pausing the journey or after a very short journey) the on-board computer uses the most recently saved charge level and calculates the subsequent charge levels and range from that point.

If you have partially charged the batteries the on-board computer falsely assumes the most recent charging level and under-estimates your charge and range.

  1. At the beginning of each season the on-board computer has to be calibrated in order to take into account the aging of the battery bank. To do so use the fully charged battery bank on your boat and deplete it following the instructions below.

  2. Charge the battery to 100% full.

  3. Enter the information that the batteries are fully charged into the system as described above by pushing the "cal" button twice.
  4. Deplete the battery down to a voltage level of 21.7 V (Cruise 2.0) or 43.4 V respectively (Cruise 4.0).
  5. During depletion of the battery, the motor may be stopped but not switched off.
  6. During the last half hour of the depletion, the input power of the motor must range between 50 and 400 watts.
    • After reaching the voltage level mentioned above, the motor will switch off automatically. The information system has measured the ageing of the battery and the calibration is complete.

Please be aware: if you try to do the entire depletion on low power while the boat is tied up in port, this may – depending on the size of your battery bank – take more than a day. It should be easier to go through the final phase of a calibration run after a trip, when the battery is already depleted to a certain degree.

If you would like to monitor the voltage level of the battery during the calibration, you can use the multifunctional display of the outboard as a voltage indicator (respective instructions are shown under 5.3.2.2).

If you conduct the calibration on the open water (and not tied up in port) please note that the motor stops automatically when the aforementioned conditions are fulfilled, thus signaling the completion of the calibration. The motor can be switched on afterwards to head towards port. Note that the remaining range is low.

The calibration helps the on-board computer to learn how much capacity the battery bank that is supplying the motor has lost through aging. These values are included in the calculation of future charge level indications in percent and ranges. The on-board computer overwrites the values stored in the set up menu for ampere-hours for your battery bank. If you want to assess the status of the battery bank and check the capacity loss, go into the setup menu, look up the value for ampere-hours and compare it with the original values. Please do not change the value set during the calibration journey as otherwise the on-board computer will make false assumptions.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Usage and calibration of battery charge display - 1

  • When using the motor with lead-based batteries (gel or AGM) please note that the values displayed for the range are based on the average performance curves of various batteries. Lead-based batteries are available in qualities that vary strongly. Therefore the indicated outstanding range can not be exact for lead-based batteries.
  • False information on the charge level (eg. due to pressing the "cal" button twice when the batteries are not full) results in the on-board computer over-estimating the battery's charge level and your range.
  • At the beginning of each season the on-board computer has to be calibrated in order to take into account the aging of the battery bank.
  • Other devices that are connected to the motor's battery supply can not be considered when calculating the remaining charge level and range. In this case your batteries' charge level and outstanding range are lower than indicated on the display
  • Charging the battery bank during the journey (e.g. using solar systems, wind turbines or generators) cannot be taken into account by the on-board computer. In this case your batteries' charge level and outstanding range are higher than indicated on the display.

5.4 Transom mount

The tilt mechanism allows both tilting and trimming the motor.

You can tilt the motor to remove it from the water (e.g. when it is not in use or when you land the boat in shallow water).

Trimming allows you to set the motor perfectly to the water surface. For this there are 4 possible trimming positions.

See chapter 4.1 (Fitting the drive onto the boat) to find out how to tilt and trim the motor.

The kick lever in the "Tilt/Auto kick-up" position enables the motor to be kicked up if it touches the bottom. In this position it is not possible to reverse at full speed.

Automatic kick-up is switched off in the "Lock" position. This enables reversing at full speed.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Transom mount - 1

- Please ensure that the kick lever for revers drive is in the "Lock" position.

5.5 Pylon

The motor and the electronic control system are located in the pylon. They generate the propulsion. In addition, several protective functions are integrated:

  1. Temperature protection: If the motor overheats, the motor control system reduces the output of the drive until a temperature equilibrium is established between generated and disposed heat. If a critical temperature was exceeded, the motor will come to a stop and the error code E02, E08, or E46 will be shown in the display.
  2. Under-voltage protection: If the voltage falls below 18 V for Cruise 2.0 models or 36 V for Cruise 4.0 models (or under 21 V / 42 V if the motor is run with lithium batteries), the electronic controller switches the drive off to prevent over-discharging the batteries. The display shows error code E43.
  3. Blocking protection: If the propeller is blocked or stuck, the motor would normally take in too much power. In this case, the motor is switched off within a few hundredths of a second to protect the electronics, motor winding and propeller. After removing the blockage you can switch the motor on again. If there is a blockage the display shows error code E05.
  4. Cable break protection: In case of damage to one of the connecting cables, i.e. in case of an interrupted connection to the remote control, the motor will either not start at all or will come to a stop. The error code E30 will appear in the display.
  5. Throttle control: The speed at which the propeller adjusts to a changed throttle position is limited in order to protect mechanical drive parts and to avoid short-term peak current.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Pylon - 1

- In case of motor malfunctions, an error code will pop up on display. After elimination of malfunction, motor may move on from stop position. Please refer to chapter 5.3.4. for any description and details.

Fin supports steering motion and secures propeller in case of ground contacts.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Pylon - 2

  • Only run the motor when propeller is under water. If propeller moves in air for longer periods, shaft sealant rings that seal the motor to the drive shaft may be damaged and motor itself may be overheated.
  • After use, the motor should as a general rule, be taken out of the water. To do so, you may use the tilt mechanism of transom mount.

6. Dismantling

  1. Remove Magnetic Kill Switch from remote throttle (Cruise R)/tiller (Cruise T) and switch off motor completely by pressing "on/off" button on the display. Set the battery main switch to the off or neutral position.
  2. Unplug connection between motor, cable set, and remote throttle (Cruise R)/ tiller (Cruise T).
  3. Unhinge the motor and place it on a flat surface.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Dismantling - 1

• The pylon may be hot.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Dismantling - 2

• Make sure the motor is dry before you store it.
- Ensure you do not bend the cable around sharp edges.

7. Storage and care instructions

7.1 Corrosion protection

Materials were chosen with a high level of corrosion-resistance. Most of the materials used in the Cruise are, as with most leisure maritime products, classed as “seawater resistant”, not “seawater-proof”.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Corrosion protection - 1

• After use, the motor should as a general rule, be taken out of the water. You can do this using the tilt mechanism of the transom bracket.
- Rinse the motor with fresh water after operation in salt water or brackish water.
• Only store the motor in a dry condition.
- Check the sacrificial anode regularly, at least every 6 months. Replace as needed.
- Regularly spray cable contacts, data sockets, and data plugs with WD 40 or an equivalent product.
- The threads of the transom mounting bolts need to be relubricated regularly with marine grease (e.g. LiquiMoly).

7.2 Changing the propeller

  1. Turn the battery master switch to the "OFF" position or neutral position.
  2. Loosen the sacrificial anode (for disassembly it is best to use a 17 mm 12-point long reach socket). Remove the O-ring seal by loosening the underlying nut. This makes it simpler to slide the O-ring seal off the shaft (again, use a 17 mm 12-point long reach socket for this purpose).
  3. Pull the propeller off the shaft together with the washer.
  4. Pull the shear pin out of the motor shaft, remove the ring or washers.
  5. Turn the battery master switch to the "ON" position. Let the motor run at slow speed and check the shaft sealing ring for smooth shaft operation. In case of a damaged or unbalanced shaft please contact Torpeedo's Service Dept.
  6. Turn the battery master switch to the "OFF" position or neutral position. Mount the ring, then insert the shear pin.
  7. Slide the propeller onto the shaft all the way to the stop, then rotate the groove in the propeller until it is in line with the shear pin.
  8. Slide the washer over the shaft and tighten the hexagon locknut to the propeller (11 Nm).
  9. Refasten the O-ring seal.
  10. Helpful hints for items 8 and 9: If necessary, use an auxiliary tool such as a centre punch, a tapered punch or a mandrel on which to slide the disk, the nut, and finally the O-ring seal.
  11. Refasten the sacrificial anode (7.5 Nm).

Disk Nut Sacrificial anode O-Ring Ring Shaft seal Shear pin

7.3 Other care instructions

To clean the motor you can use any cleaning agents suitable for plastic - follow the manufacturer's instructions. Cockpit sprays available for cars achieve good results on the plastic surfaces of the Cruise models.

7.4 Maintenance

The maintenance is supposed to be performed according to the service interval schedule, depending on either a given time interval or the operating hours, whichever occurs first. Please be sure to use the service manual enclosed in the delivery.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Maintenance - 1

  • Maintenance has to be performed by qualified personal only. Please contact Torqeedo Service.
  • If the instructions in chapter 7.1 and 7.3 are not adhered to, the maintenance intervals should be shortened.

7.5 Trailering boats equipped with outboard

During trailering and transportation of the boat with mounted outboard, the motor should be tilted down into a vertical position. If there is not enough ground clearance to use the vertical position of the mounted outboard, the outboard should be tilted up for trailering. In this case, do use an appropriate outboard support device.

Ensure local and country-specific regulations for trailering of boats are understood and adhered to.

Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R - Trailering boats equipped with outboard - 1

• Make sure before starting your journey and during your journey that there is no risk of ground contact of the motor.
- When trailering the motor in tilted position, do not use the tilt lock on the transom bracket to support the motor. Use an appropriate outboard support device.
