USING THE FOOT PEDAL
CAUTION
The steering system is designed to turn your motor 360
degrees. Be careful to avoid over-wrapping the Coil Cord
around the trolling motor Shaft. Over wrapping the coil cord
will cause damage and prevent operation.
Steer Right/Steer Left
The Steer Right and Steer Left buttons are located at
the bottom of the Foot Pedal. They function to steer right and
left. Holding the Steer Right or Steer Left buttons down will
continue to steer the motor to the left or right. Small steering
changes of less than one degree can be made by quickly
tapping the Steer Right and Steer Left buttons. The position
and direction of the Steering Head directly corresponds to the
position of the motor. The direction of the motor can also be
controlled with the remote.
Prop ON/OFF
The Prop ON/OFF button is located in the bottom, middle of the Foot Pedal. It functions to turn the Prop on and off. The
Prop will turn on when pressure is applied and turn off when pressure to the button is removed. The Prop ON/OFF button
functions very similar to the Momentary button.
Constant
The Constant button is located on the left side of the Foot Pedal, towards the bottom, right below the AutoPilot button.
It functions to toggle the motor between Constant Motor Operation and Momentary Motor Operation. The green light CONSTANT on
the Indicator Panel will be illuminated when the motor is in Constant Motor Operation. In Constant Mode, the propeller will
continually run, regardless of whether or not force is being applied to the Momentary button or Prop ON/OFF button. While in
Constant Motor Operation, the propeller will run continuously at the speed set by the Speed Control knob, or by the i-Pilot or
i-Pilot Link remote.
If a propeller encounters an obstruction while either in Momentary or Constant Mode, while the propeller is running, the increased
electrical current due to the obstruction will signal the motor to decrease the power to the propeller to prevent damage. If the
current overload is detected for more than 20 seconds, the prop will be disabled to prevent damage to the motor. In this event,
the operator can turn the prop back on after being sure that the obstruction has been cleared.
AutoPilot
The AutoPilot button is located in the middle, on the left side of the Foot Pedal. Pressing the AutoPilot button toggles the
feature on and off for motor that are installed with this feature. The red light AUTOPILOT
SPOT-LOCK on the Indicator Panel is illuminated when
this feature is engaged. When AutoPilot is initiated from the Foot Pedal, the default AutoPilot mode is determined by the
remote. AutoPilot can also be engaged and disengaged using the remote. For more specific directions on how to use AutoPilot,
please refer to either your motor manual, or the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link Manual. The AutoPilot Indicator on the Mount will also be
illuminated when AutoPilot is engaged.
NOTE: The motor will not auto correct to drive
straight when it encounters an obstruction.
WARNING
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. We have designed the Terrova Foot Pedal to be an
accurate and reliable tool that will enhance boat operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve
you from the responsibility for safe operation of your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a
permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of
your boat. Learn to operate your Terrova in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
