Welcome
Thanks for choosing a Revolution Trolling Motor by Pro Controll for your freshwater shing
adventures.
Fishing preferences are incredibly personal. There are many variables that go into a successful
day of shing: clarity of – and structures under – the water; weather; how many people are in
your boat. Your trolling motor should be exible enough to allow you to sh your way: alone
or with family and friends; standing in the front of the boat or sitting in the back; close to
structures and underwater weeds; on windy days or on calm waters.
Our patented Pro Controll bracket means that Revolution Trolling Motors are the only hand-
controlled trolling motors on the market that can be mounted on the bow – or transom – of
your jon boat or utility boat.
At Pro Controll, we give you the freedom to sh how you want.
Before operating your new motor
Read this manual completely before you mount your new motor. The next few pages contain
information you need to use your motor safely and keep it in good condition. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in injury to yourself or others and/or damage to the motor.

Choosing and Connecting a Battery
For best results, use a deep-cycle/marine battery rated at 50 amp-hours or higher. Pro Controll’s
Revolution motors are engineered for lead-acid batteries. Lithium or other batteries are not
recommended.
Please refer to the chart on Page 7 for voltage requirements. 32-, 40-, and 50- pound thrust
motors (14.5 kg, 18 kg, and 22.5 kg thrust) require a 12-volt battery.
86-pound thrust (39 kg thrust) motors require one 24-volt battery, or two 12-volt batteries
connected in series. For additional information about using two 12-volt batteries as a 24-
volt power source, please refer to Page 8.
Choosing a longer cable
To extend the battery cables provided, we recommend using the Trolling Motor Battery Harness
by Pro Controll with 8-gauge (3.26 mm) wire.
Circuit protection
We recommend the use of a manual-reset circuit breaker within 1’ (0.3 m) of the battery. Visit
www.procontroll.com for purchase options of the Circuit Breaker by Pro Controll.
For additional information on connecting more than one battery and on the benets of a circuit
breaker, please refer to“Connecting an Additional Battery or Circuit Breaker” on Page 8.
Charging any lead-acid battery releases hydrogen and oxygen into the surrounding
atmosphere. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the buildup of potentially explosive
gases.
Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) that causes serious chemical burns. Never
allow any liquid that leaks or spills from a battery to touch your skin or clothes. In the event
of accidental contact, ood exposed skin or eyes with water. Contact a poison control center
for additional rst-aid advice or seek medical attention.

Connecting an Additional Battery or Circuit Breaker
Connecting two 12-volt batteries in parallel for extended trolling time
If you’re shing with a 32-, 40-, or 50-pound thrust (14.5 kg, 18 kg, and 22.5 kg thrust) Revolution
Trolling Motor, you can wire a second battery in parallel for up to twice the trolling range.
Never mix batteries of dierent type, size, or condition.
1. Use 8-gauge (3.26mm) wire with ring or spade
connectors to connect the two negative (-)
terminals.
2. Use 8-gauge (3.26mm) wire with ring or spade
connectors to connect the two positive (+)
terminals.
3. Connect the black wire from the motor to the
closest battery’s negative (-) terminal.
4. Connect the red wire from the motor to the
closest battery’s positive (+) terminal.
Connecting two 12-volt batteries in series to create a 24-volt power source
86-pound (39 kg) thrust motors are designed for use with 24-volt batteries. You can create a 24-
volt power source by connecting two 12-volt batteries in series.
For use with 86-pound (39 kg) thrust motors only!
Connecting batteries in series will damage 32-, 40-, or 50-pound thrust (14.5 kg, 18 kg, and
22.5 kg thrust) motors.

Never mix batteries of dierent type, size, or condition.
1. Use 8-gauge (3.26mm) wire with ring or spade connectors to connect the negative (-) terminal
from battery #1 to the positive (+) terminal of battery #2.
2. Connect the black wire from the motor to the negative (-) terminal of battery #2.
3. Connect the red wire from the motor to the positive (+) terminal of battery #1.
Installing a circuit breaker
At Pro Controll, we recommend the use of an appropriate DC circuit breaker between your battery
and your Revolution motor. A circuit breaker is also a legal requirement in some jurisdictions. Visit
www.procontroll.com for more information on our Circuit Breaker by Pro Controll.
An internal combustion motor will stall if the propeller becomes jammed by weeds, shing line,
rocks or logs, or just hitting the bottom. However, DC electric motors can’t stall. If the propeller
is jammed, the motor will draw more power. It may even draw enough power to damage the
motor, controls, or power cables. A circuit breaker prevents this type of damage by cutting
power to the motor if the draw exceeds a certain amperage.
Motors with thrust ratings of 32 and 40 pounds should be protected by a 50-amp circuit breaker.
Motors with thrust ratings of 50 and 86 pounds should be protected by a 60-amp circuit breaker.
1. Mount the circuit breaker on your boat at a point less
than 1’(0.30m) from the battery.
2. Connect the positive lead from your Revolution
Trolling Motor to the“AUX”terminal on the circuit
breaker. (See diagram at right.)
3. Connect the positive lead from the battery to the
“BAT”terminal on the circuit breaker.
4. Connect the negative lead as normal.

Controls and Safe Use
Raising and lowering the motor
Disconnect the battery before raising or lowering the motor.
Use the Quick Release Tilt Lever to raise the
trolling motor up out of the water and to stow
it. The Tension Collar will need to be loosened
in order to raise the motor for depth control or
stowing. Once out of the water for stowing, use
the Quick Release Tilt Lever to fold the motor
into the boat area. Put the trolling motor in
the water when it is time to sh. Press the lever
with your thumb while holding the head of the
trolling motor with the other hand to control
the tilting, raising and lowering of the motor.
Tilt the motor as needed and release the lever
to lock it in the desired position.
Adjusting the motor angle
Use the Quick Release Tilt Lever to ne-tune the angle of the shaft when shing. Press the Quick
Release Tilt Lever to adjust the tilt angle of the motor. Releasing the lever will lock the motor
unit in the desired position.
Depth Adjustment Collar
To adjust motor depth, loosen the tension collar screw on the Depth Adjustment Collar and
slide the shaft up or down so that the motor is approximately 12” below the surface, then
re-tighten the tension screw. Loosen the screw on the Depth Adjustment Collar and position
against the Steering Tension Collar, then retighten screw to set the motor depth.

Tiller operation
Speed: set the handle on the tiller to select one of the ve forward or three reverse speeds.
Align the arrow marker with“0” to stop the motor. Tiller Angle: on S-Series motors only, lift up
or push down on the Tiller to adjust angle of the head.
Always allow the motor to come to a stop before switching from forward to reverse. Failure
to do so may damage the motor.
Battery meter
There are 10 LED lights on the indicator display. If all 10 are illuminated, your battery is at or
near full power. Keep an eye on the battery level as you sh. We recommend you recharge the
battery when the indicator reads 50% charge, but never let the battery fall lower than 20% to
ensure a long life. Lead-acid batteries, such as deep cycle batteries, run the risk of sulfation if
left uncharged for too long. A sulfated battery has a buildup of lead sulfate crystals and is the
number one cause of early battery failure in lead-acid batteries.
Your trolling motor was not designed for use with a lithium battery. The battery meter is not
a reliable indicator of lithium battery status.
Taking the motor o the boat
To avoid damaging your motor in transportation, we recommend removing it before you tow
your boat
Disconnect the battery before removing your trolling motor.
Remove the motor by loosening the Transom Clamp Screws. Lift motor and mount o. On some
boats, you may also need to loosen the Skewer (#5) so the Bracket (#4) will clear the Gunwale
(see Figure A on Page 10).

Daily Checks and Routine Maintenance
Always disconnect the battery before you handle the propeller or motor unit.
1. Check behind the propeller after each use for weeds, shing line or other debris that may get
wrapped behind the propeller.
2. Lubricate all the pivot points with a non-aerosol lubricant. Never use aerosol lubricants to
grease or oil any part of the unit, because aerosols contain propellants that can damage your
motor or control unit.
3. Inspect the main battery cables and look for loose or corroded connections.
4. Tighten any loose fasteners.
5. If appropriate, reconnect the battery and tighten the battery leads.
