Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present.
2. Mounting the Trolling Motor
The Haswing AQUOS trolling motor is designed for transom mounting. Secure the motor to the boat's transom using the integrated clamp bracket. Ensure the clamps are tightened securely to prevent movement during operation.

3. Adjusting Shaft Length
The shaft length is adjustable to suit various transom heights and water depths. Loosen the depth collar to adjust the shaft to the desired depth, then tighten the collar firmly to secure the shaft in place. The adjustable range is approximately 24.4 inches.
Figure 3: Shaft Length Adjustment. This diagram shows the total shaft length of 35.4 inches and the adjustable portion of approximately 24.4 inches, allowing for customization based on boat type and water depth.
4. Battery Connection
Connect the motor's power cables to a 12V deep cycle battery (minimum 105AH recommended). Ensure correct polarity: red to positive (+), black to negative (-). Secure all connections to prevent loose contacts and ensure optimal performance.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On and Speed Control
The motor features five forward speeds and three reverse speeds. Use the control handle to select the desired speed. The variable speed control allows for precise adjustments to match fishing conditions.

- Periodically:
- Inspect the sacrificial anode (if present) for wear. Replace if significantly corroded to protect other metal components.
- Check the propeller nut for tightness.
- Lubricate moving parts of the mounting bracket and steering mechanism with a marine-grade lubricant.
- Storage:
- Store the motor in a dry, cool place when not in use.
- Disconnect the battery during long-term storage.
