5.1 Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully unpack all components and inspect for any visible damage. Ensure all parts listed in the package contents are present.
5.2 Muntatge del motor
- Identify the mounting points on your application (e.g., efoil mast, boat transom).
- Align the motor's mounting holes with your application's mounting structure. The motor features 4-M4 mounting holes on a 42mm bolt circle diameter (refer to Figure 1).
- Secure the motor using M4 metric bolts (not included). Ensure the bolts are of appropriate length to securely fasten the motor without damaging internal components.
- Verify the motor is firmly attached and does not wobble.
5.3 Instal·lació de l'hèlix
- Ensure the motor shaft is clean and free of debris.
- Slide the propeller onto the motor shaft. Ensure the propeller's shaft hole (10.2mm diameter) matches the motor's 12mm shaft (refer to Figure 2 for propeller dimensions). Some propellers may require an adapter or specific shaft type (round or stepped).
Figure 8: Motor with Round Shaft option. 
Figure 9: Motor with Stepped Shaft option. - Secure the propeller using the provided nut and washer. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Check that the propeller spins freely without obstruction.
5.4 Connexions elèctriques
Refer to Figure 1 for the detailed wiring diagram.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the motor's XT90 male power plug to a compatible XT90 female connector from your battery system. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). The power cord is 2*12AWG.
- Ports de comunicació:
- PPM (Pulse Position Modulation): Connect the 3-pin PPM cable to your receiver or control unit. Pinout: Black (GND), Red (5V), Yellow (SERVO).
- UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter): Connect the 3-pin UART cable for serial communication. Pinout: White (Rx), Yellow (Tx), Black (GND), Red (5V).
- USB (Type-C): Use the Type-C USB port for connecting to a computer for ESC configuration and firmware updates using VESC Tool.
