Running the motor (continued from Extending the propeller arm):
CAUTION! BEFORE STARTING-UP THE MOTOR, VERIFY THE PROPELLER ARM IS EXTENDED AND
PROPELLER IN VERTICAL POSITION BY CHECKING THE COCKPIT MIRROR.

When the motor is running, the display will show motor RPM.
Also notice the throttle bar indicator.
Retracting the propeller arm:
WARNING! BEFORE RETRACTING THE PROPELLER ARM IN-FLIGHT, SET FLAPS TO T STAGE
AND REDUCE SPEED TO 80 KM/H (45 KTS). A COOLING PERIOD IS NOT REQUIRED.
1. Reduce RPM to zero (rotate throttle knob left) and monitor the throttle bar.
Monitor the RPM dropping towards zero.
2. Switch the Position selector switch to DOWN (pull switch and move down).
The electric brake will initiate propeller positioning. Once propeller is positioned, the retraction
will continue automatically. An intermittent DN message is displayed, indicating system in motion.
Do not touch the unit and wait until the solid DN message is displayed!
3. Switch the System enable switch to OFF (pull switch and move down).
This deactivates the system.
Shutting-down the motor IN FLIGHT:
WARNING! When in flight, Shutting down the system is only premitted when
the propeller is in the retracted position. On Ground, this precaution is not
valid.
1. Retract the propeller arm
2. Switch the system enable switch to OFF (down)
WARNING! always wait before the system IS confirmed in full extended or
full retracted position before operating the master switch or THE SYSTEm
ENABLE SWITCH! The propeller brake is electric and does not work without power.
in flight and with the system in the middle of retraction, cutting the power
will result in propeller damage!

ESC temperature high – Recommended: reduce power (speed controller is hot)
Batt. temperature high – Recommended: reduce power and retract motor (battery is hot)
Batt. temperature low– Recommended: do not use power in system, danger of battery damage.
Battery low 20% – Recommended: consider retracting the motor soon
Battery empty – Recommended: retract motor immediately or retraction will be automatic
Timeout (after motor retracted) - Recommended: Switch system enable OFF to prevent ESC
