ADVICE
Maintenance tasks must be carried out exclusively by qualified specialist person-
nel. Contact Torqeedo Service or an authorised Service Partner.
Before maintenance or cleaning tasks, ensure the following:
■
The magnetic kill switch must be disconnected.
11.1 Care of the system components
WARNING!
Danger of injury from propeller!
Moderate or severe physical injuries may result.
■
When working on the propeller, always switch the system off at the main
switch.
■
Pull out the magnetic kill switch.
■
Pull out the motor cable.
The surfaces of the motor can be cleaned with commercially available cleaning
agents; the plastic surfaces can be treated with vinyl cleaner.
For cleaning the motor, any cleaning agent suitable for plastic may be used as per
the manufacturer's instructions. Commercially available cockpit sprays used for cars
achieve a good effect on the plastic surfaces of the Travel system.
Use a contact spray every two months to maintain all electronic contacts (plugs).
The shaft seals must be replaced after five years of operation. Contact an authorised
Service Centre for this purpose.
11.1.1 Corrosion protection
A high level of corrosion resistance was ensured when selecting the materials. As is
usual for maritime products in the leisure sector, most of the materials incorporated
into the Travel system are classed as sea-water-resistant, not sea-water proof.
Do the following to prevent corrosion:
■
Store the motor only when it is dry.
■
Regularly apply a suitable contact spray (e.g. Wetprotect) to cable contacts, data
sockets, and data plugs.
■
Regularly regrease the threads on the transom clamp bolts (e.g. with LiquiMoly).
■
Have corrosion and paintwork damage corrected by a specialist if it occurs.
■
After use in salt water, rinse the motor and fresh water.
