Description
This range of electric outboards are unique in their design. Using a permanent magnet three
phase D.C. brushless, water-cooled 48v electric motor, which is mounted directly behind the
propeller. This gives an efficient and trouble-free method of power delivery. There is no
traditional type impeller to wear out or change. Salt, silt, and sand does not enter the motor
and, because there is no coolant or water inside the outboard, there is no danger of frost
damage in the winter. This results in your electric outboard requiring far less maintenance
than a conventional petrol unit.
They can be tiller or use an inboard shift and steering system. Bluetooth performance
monitoring system is used to indicate main parameters.

SECTION 1 –Safety Precautions
1. General
NOTICE:
NEVER PERMIT ANYONE TO OPERATE THE OUTBOARD WITHOUT PROPER
TRAINING.
Ensure that the engine battery isolator switch is in the off position before connecting the
battery or carrying out any maintenance/ repairs. Also, when the outboard is not in use.
2. Lifting
DANGER:
CRUSH HAZARD! NEVER STAND UNDER A HOISTED ENGINE. IF THE HOIST
MECHANISM FAILS, THE ENGINE WILL FALL ON YOU, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
•Note: Suitable safe lifting equipment must be used to lift,move and mount the outboard
onto the boat.
•The batteries used for the outboard will be heavy. Make sure safe lifting procedures
or suitable cranes or hoists are used when moving and installing them.
3. Rotating Parts
WARNING:
SEVERE HAZARD! KEEP HANDS AND OTHER BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
MOVING/ROTATING PARTS. WEAR TIGHT FITTING CLOTHING AND KEEP YOUR
HAIR SHORT OR TIE BACK. REMOVE ALL JEWELLERY BEFORE COMMENCING
WORK. CHECK BEFORE STARTING THE OUTBOARD THAT ANY TOOLS OR RAGS
USED DURING MAINTENANCE HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE AREA.

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 12 of 88
The outboard and its accessories are not intended to be put into operation until they are
integrated into the boat as a whole. The top cowl must always be fitted whilst the motor is
running.
4. Propeller
CAUTION
•The propeller has sharp edges which can cause injury even when it is stationary. If
there is someone in the water near the motor, it must be switched off.
•If the propeller is damaged, itmay become unbalanced and cause either bad vibrations
or the outboard to fail. Do not use the outboard in this situation.
5. Electrics
CAUTION
•Do not touch any electrical parts while operating the motor. The electrical parts may
cause shock or electrocution.
•Ensure all electrical connections are insulated against accidental short circuit.
6. Batteries
DANGER:
EXPLOSION HAZARD! NEVER SHORT OUT THE BATTERY TERMINALS,
INCLUDING WHEN CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE THIS WILL
RESULT IN A SPARK AND MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 13 of 88
WARNING:
BURN HAZARD! BATTERIES CONTAIN SULPHURIC ACID. NEVER ALLOW
BATTERY FLUID TO COME IN CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES OR CLOTHING. SEVERE
BURNS COULD RESULT. MAKE SURE THE CORRECT PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT IS WORN.
•Batteries can produce explosive gases; keep sparks and flames away from the battery.
NO SMOKING
•Lead Acid batteries contain sulphuric acid; if splashed on skin or eyes, flush well with
water and seek medical advice.
•Keep battery tops and battery compartment ventilated at all times.
•If disconnecting the battery; remove the earth lead FIRST; and re-connect it last.
•If charging the battery; ensure that the charger is switched off before connecting and
disconnecting.
•Do not tip the battery on its side.
•Please see label on battery or manufacturer’s instructions for specific information.
•A battery master (on/off) switch must be installed in the system.
•Lithium ion batteries have other safety features that must be followed, refer to Section
3–Installation and Section 13 –Declarations for more information.
7. Safety Lanyard
WARNING:
•The magnetic safety lanyard tag should always be attached to the stop switch area
on the outboard tiller or remote shifter and the person operating the boat before the
motor is started. This will prevent the outboard from operating if the operator falls
overboard or leaves the helm.

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 14 of 88
Figure 1: Safety Lanyard
The outboard will not operate if the safety lanyard is not in place. Ensure there
is a spare one on the boat and passengers know where it is.
8. Motor Overload
•If the motor is excessively overloaded (by either extended running at high speed or
using a propeller which is too big for the application) the motor will derate.
•If the motor stops all drive will be lost, which may be hazardous.
•If the motor stops, move the speed control lever to the stop position. Slowly move the
speed control to the drive position which will start the motor again.
•Continue at a reduced speed until the initial cause of the overload has been resolved.
9. Modifications
Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor as this is likely to reduce safety and reliability.
Any modifications will mean that the outboard will not be liable for warranty and maybe illegal
to use.
10. Boat
•Ensure the boat, that the outboard motor is being fitted to, has the capability of
accommodating the power and weight of the unit. (including the batteries).
•Ensure that any requirements of the boat manufacturer are adhered to.
•Consider location of the batteries in regard to weight distribution within the boat.
11. Passenger Training
•Ensure that at least one Passenger is trained to operate the boat in the event of an
emergency.

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 15 of 88
12.Terminal Crimping
Ensure that a professional type crimping tool is used for crimping all heavy-duty cable
connections. Failure to do so can result in poor performance, system failure, terminal
overheating or in some cases melting of plastic terminal plugs or even fires.
13.Applicable Standards
Ensure that the fitting and installation of the electric outboard motor, batteries, battery
storage, cables and control systems comply with all relevant local, national and international
standards.

SECTION 3 –Installation
NOTICE:
REFER TO THE BARRUS MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE MOTOR.
1. Unpacking the Outboard Motor
•The outboard motor will arrive in a wooden box. Section 8.3 details shipping weight
and packaging dimensions. Use suitable personal protective equipment for unboxing.
Figure 7: How the outboard motor will arrive
•Use a screwdriver to open the wooden box carefully. Do not damage the wooden box.
•Make sure to remove all screws and/ or staples from the sides of the box.
Figure 8: Opening the wooden box
•Check to make sure the following parts are in the box:
1. Outboard Motor
2. Safety Key
3. Anderson Connector
4. Hexagonal Spanner and Screwdriver
5. Speed and Direction Control Lever (Option)

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 19 of 88
Note: There is a right-handed speed and direction control lever available at an additional cost
(Part No.: GM-TRC-010R)
Note: Assembly instructions can be found in Section 5 - Maintenance.
2. Adjusting the Outboard Motor Transom Height
Note: The outboard has an adjustable transom height system, there are a number of
positions to choose from between short and long shaft.
•Prior to fitting the outboard motor make sure the correct transom height is chosen for
the hull of the vessel. (see 3. Mounting of the Outboard Motor).
•To adjust the transom height, open the quick release clip and move the shaft up or
down to the required height, then close the quick release clip.
Figure 9: Adjusting the transom height

RDG603B2 –Issue 1 Page 20 of 88
3. Mounting of the Outboard Motor
•The outboard needs to be mounted so that the boat is balanced. For single-engine
boats mount the outboard motor on the centre line (keel line) of the boat.
Figure 10: Centre Line (Keel Line)
•Mount the outboard motor ensuring the anti-cavitation plate is 25mm (1”) below the
bottom of the boat.
