Charging

The Evo Remote Control has a built-in lithium battery for power supply. The battery will be charged automatically under normal use: get charged by solar power or wired connection. The Evo Tiller does not have a built-in battery and needs to be connected to the machine.

Charging by solar power

When the solar panel receives enough sunshine, it will generate electricity to charge the built-in lithium battery. While charging the battery with solar power, it’s suggested to face the solar panel of the Remote Control toward sunlight to get the better-charging effect.

It’s recommended to charge the Remote Control with solar power.

Charging by wired connection

If the Evo Remote Control can’t get enough solar power for a long time, the battery level will run out. In this case, a warning message with an error code E60 (Figure 4-2) will display on the LCD panel to remind you to charge the Remote Control.

Please follow the below steps to charge the Remote Control by wired connection.
First, connect the Remote Control to the outboard motor by a communication cable first (Figure 4-3);
Then, connect the outboard motor to the battery.

****During long-term storage, ensure to charge the Remote Control battery every 6 months to avoid over-discharge.
After long-term storage, charge the Remote Control before use.
The communication cable is not included in this package. Please purchase one from your dealer if you choose this charging method.
It’s recommended to switch off the Remote Control while connecting the communication cable. When the Remote Control is switched on while charging, as the outboard main part and Remote Control are in communication, the working outboard motor will stop once the communication cable disconnects.

Use of Kill Switch

Locate the kill switch to the right place on the Evo Remote Control / Evo Tiller and tie its lanyard to your wrist or life jacket.
Stop the outboard in an emergency by detaching the kill switch.
To run the motor again, first, attach the kill switch then start the motor.

The kill switch generates a magnetic field. Keep it 50cm / 20inches away from medical implants like pacemakers and magnetic cards (e.g. credit cards) as well as other magnetic media.
The magnetic field of the kill switch may interfere with some electronic instruments. Keep it away from these electronic instruments.
