11 Put into service - prepare for summer

When putting the motor back into service, for example at the begin-
ning of the boating season, the motor must be checked and mainte-
nance work carried out.
• Check the raw water system.
• Check the coolant level of the cooling system.
• Check and reconnect the batteries.
• Check the operation of the motor.
• Check all hose connections for leaks.
• Check the operation of the instruments and motor controls.

11 .1 Cooling water system

• Check whether the cover of the raw water strainer is mounted.
• Check that the cover of the raw water pump and the drain plug
are installed.
• Install any loosened hose clamps.
• Open the outboard valve.
• Check the coolant level and coolant circulation when the pump
is on.

11 .2 Electrical system

• Check the voltage of each individual battery. In case of large volt-
age deviations, the batteries should be charged separately.
• Connect the batteries and fully charge the 48 volt battery bank.

11 .3 Test run

Only test the E-Line motor if you are sure that people are at a
safe distance from the propeller!
• Switch on the E-Line motor and check correct operation.
• Also check the operation of the connected panels.
