Riptide Ulterra Quick Start Up Guide
Getting Started
Power On
The Riptide Ulterra trolling motor must be powered "on" manually. The remote will not turn the motor on. The power button is located on the base of the motor. Pressing the power button will turn on Riptide Ulterra. The red STATUS light and the green SYSTEM READY light will both be illuminated when powered on.
Illustration: Power button with illuminated red STATUS light and green SYSTEM READY light.
Power Off
To power off Riptide Ulterra, press and hold the POWER button approximately three seconds, until the green light turns off. Riptide Ulterra has an auto-shut off as well. It will automatically power off after 1.5 hours of inactivity in the stowed position.
Status Light
The red STATUS light indicates:
- Solid: Motor is stowed
- Flashing: Motor is stowing/deploying
- Off: Motor is deployed or off
System Ready Light
The green SYSTEM READY light will remain lit while Riptide Ulterra is operating. If the green light does not remain illuminated after power up, this is an indicator of insufficient voltage/power.
Warning
When the motor is powered off while off the ramps, never turn the lower unit of the motor manually (by hand). This will affect the alignment of the motor and cause it to stow improperly. ? [Manual operation warning]
