Safety

You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Your TR-1 Autopilot is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate your boat and catch fish. It does not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation of your vessel. You must avoid hazards to navigation and never leave the helm unattended.

•You must always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat. The autopilot can fail and hard over.

•Learn to operate your autopilot on calm and hazard free open water.

•In case the autopilot becomes inoperable, remove the in line fuse from the battery power cable.

•If available, always use the engine kill lanyard when operating your boat.

•Use caution when operating the autopilot at high speeds near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings or other boats.

Before Starting Installation

Study this manual and the other manuals provided with your autopilot carefully, and familiarize yourself with all of the components and their intended or required mounting locations. Ensure there is adequate space available for installation before cutting or drilling holes. Take extreme care when cutting and drilling, to avoid the possibility of damaging other components in the boat, and avoid possible personal injury. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and thoroughly.
