In order to operate the product correctly and minimise the chances of damage, serious injury or death, it is essential to read and follow all instructions and warnings published by Foil Drive in the User Manual provided and in these online articles and videos prior to assembly, setup and use.&#xA0;By using the Foil Drive&#x2122; system you agree that you do so at your own risk.This Foil Drive system is not a toy and should be used with caution. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the contents of this manual and proper operation before use. Respect the power of lithium batteries and rotating motors/propellers and please contact us at any point if you have further questions. MOTOR AND PROPELLER WARNINGSSpinning objects are dangerous. The risks of fast spinning propellers have been reduced as much as possible, however, are still present. The motor system has safety features built in such as over current protection, no signal, fail to off, and excessive torque limits.- Never operate the throttle while the motor/propeller is obstructed- Never hold the motor, including for testing purposes- Only operate the system when securely mounted to a mast that is fixed to a board- Never touch the motor/propeller when the system is energised (with battery plugged in)- Never foil close to other people or animals- Do not place hands or feet directly under the board where motor contact could occur- Remain aware of the unit when climbing on the board- Turning the controller off will place the unit into Fail Safe Mode where the throttle will no longer activate the motor. Consider using this feature when climbing onto the board to reduce risk of the throttle being bumped accidentally.The propellers have been tested and designed for durability and are strong enough to resist natural flexing. The propellers are sharp and may cause bodily harm if contacted during operation. LITHIUM BATTERY AND CHARGING WARNINGSOur battery chargers are NOT cross compatible - please ensure you have the correct charger for your battery. The 40v chargers will charge the MAX Power, MAX Sport, and Slim Performance. The 28v charger will charge the Assist PLUS batteries and Slim Endurance. The 22v charger will charge the 12ah Assist battery.Lithium-ion batteries provide the highest power to weight density of all rechargeable batteries currently available. Additionally, we have added a Battery Management System (BMS) that automatically checks and manages each cell to ensure added safety and automation of the charging phase. Lithium batteries are most at risk of damage to the cells when being charged.- Avoid moisture contact with the battery. Pay special care when handling around water and ensure you have clean, dry hands.&#xA0;- Do not store or carry the battery with wet towels, wet suits or damp gear.- Always allow the battery to cool down to room temperature before recharging.- Do not recharge the battery in hot environments or in direct sunlight (Such as in the car).- Always charge in a cool, dry, open place free from moisture and flammable materials.- Isolate the battery from flammable items using the provided lithium battery charging bag.- When charging, DO NOT leave the battery unattended.- Disconnect the charger plug when the battery is full.- Do not leave the battery in any hot environment or exposed sunlight as they are susceptible to heat damage/overheating. For example, leaving a battery in the car in direct sunlight could heat the battery up causing the cells to fail, vent or even catch fire. The most likely outcome of battery overheating is that the cells lose performance and capacity, effecting the longevity of the battery.&#xA0; Lithium batteries DO NOT like to be left fully charged over long periods. Charging the battery to full and leaving it for extended periods of time (weeks or longer) will reduce the life span and performance, a result of battery chemistry not product quality. We recommend charging the battery on the same day, or the night before you intended to use it to achieve best results. Ideally, batteries should be stored between 40-60% charge.Cheap 110v-240v inverters and generators that DO NOT have a pure sinewave output can damage the charging equipment. Much like a laptop or TV, these chargers need a quality power source to function at peak performance and avoid damage. It is for this reason that we DO NOT recommend using anything other than a pure sinewave inverter 110v-240v or conventional main power protected by an RCD. SHIPPING AND TRANSPORT OF THE BATTERYDue to the size (capacity) of the Foil Drive batteries, they cannot be air freighted or taken on commercial airliners as regular luggage or freight in most countries.&#xA0;Rated power levels:MAX Power is 498.96wh.MAX Sport is 332.64wh.Slim Performance is 166.32wh.Slim Endurance is 241.92wh.Assist PLUS Standard is 362.8wh.Assist PLUS Small is 120.96wh. Please check with your local authorities or airline/shipping company as to the best way to transport the battery if you plan to travel with your system.The Foil Drive Assist PLUS Small Battery has been designed as an airline friendly battery. Please call your local airline ahead of time as some countries have specific requirements has to how it needs to be carried.

Here are some important SAFETY NOTES to keep in mind when installing and heading into the water with your Foil Drive.Setup and turn on your unit away from the water. Dry your hands, hair and wetsuit to avoid dripping water.&#xA0;It is important that the internals of the electronics box remain dry. 1. Check there is no damage to any parts of the system, in particular motor, propellers, cable, waterproof seals and controller.&#xA0;2. If the controller is on, it must read 0% OR turn it off (Fail Safe Mode) before connection.&#xA0;3. Insert the battery with the Foil Drive logo facing up, ensuring it&#x2019;s flat on the bottom.&#xA0;4. Plug in the battery, ensuring the plug lays flat between the battery monitor and battery. (<a href="https://youtu.be/qYB3ZMKpifQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch this video</a> on how to install and secure your battery correctly inside your box &#xA0;)&#xA0;5. Check the battery is fully charged using the battery monitor inside the box.&#xA0;6. Ensure the box seal is clean, dry and free from obstructions before closing, latch shut and check the cable gland is tight.&#xA0;<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/uploads.gorgias.io/z8QbV2Pk1e6ogePy/undefined-5c107ccf-1a64-4a56-b301-751bb0732e43" style="width: 687px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> 7.

Never pick up or manoeuvre your board out of the water with the controller turned on or operate when detached from the mast and board.&#xA0;DO NOT touch to motor or propellers while the battery is plugged in - propellers can cause serious injury.&#xA0; Here is a video of Paul running through a quick install down at the beach.&#xA0;<iframe width="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tViznUDe7rE?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen class="fr-draggable"></iframe> To learn more, check out the other articles on our <a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Help Centre</a>&#xA0;which can be found under the &apos;Support&apos; tab on the website.&#xA0;As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us at&#xA0;<a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:support@foildrive.com">support@foildrive.com</a>.&#xA0;&#xA0;Happy Foil Driving!

Safety Checks Before Entering the Water

Official statement from Foil Drive™ with regards to back-pack mounting or wearing Foil Drive™ units.

<h1 id="isPasted" style="line-height: 100%; text-align: center;">WEARING YOUR FOIL DRIVE&#x2122; Foil Drive&#x2122; would like to make a statement regarding the use of the battery box in a &#x2018;back-pack&#x2019; configuration, or when attached to your body in any way.We love that customers are enjoying the product in new and innovative ways, but we do want to make sure it is being used appropriately. We recognise that it is totally within the rights of anyone to use their personal property in any way they choose, we feel it is important to make people aware of the potential danger and increased risk to the equipment of using the product in this way. We have designed the Assist and the Assist Plus systems to be used while being securely attached to a suitable board, and as such for safety and product reliability reasons, they should only be used in this way.&#xA0;The cable gland we use to secure the cable to the box is designed to seal the cable entering the box and can withstand the weight of the box and battery combined (approx. 2.5 kg). It is NOT designed to withstand the sudden and aggressive pulling force of an entire person yanking on the box and cable. The copper cable is not stretchy, and if excessive force is applied to the copper strands they can snap, preventing your motor from working. It is also possible that you can tear the cable gland out of the box or out of your integrated mast and damage your system.To put this into perspective, the pulling force of an 85kg person compared to the 2.5kg electronics box is 35x MORE than it is designed to cope with.Image hitching a 70,000kg trailer onto the back of a car that is rated for 2,000kg towing capacity and expecting the brakes / car to cope. Our support staff are trained to look for and diagnose a range of issues arising from normal use. For example, it is extremely difficult for support staff to diagnose why a motor will not spin if you snap the copper strands and damage the cable internally as this simply&#xA0;NEVER happens from normal use. In addition to this, when copper strands are damaged in this way, it can take weeks of use before it causes motor failure, which makes it even harder for our staff to diagnose. Unless the customer is forthcoming with the information, they provide regarding how they have been using the product, our staff would never think to assume the cable is broken internally. Going back to the car/trailer analogy, if you took your car to a garage for repair with brake failure, and you do not tell the mechanic that you were towing a 70,000kg trailer, the mechanic could end up wasting a lot of time trying to work out why the brakes have failed.We try extremely hard to support everyone, but when people expect us to warrant and support misuse of the product it becomes very difficult for Foil Drive&#x2122;. There is also an increased safety concern with using an electrical cable as a leash (or even simply when connecting a rider to their board alongside a separate leash), especially when used in the surf. If you have any questions please don&apos;t hesitate to email us on support@foildrive.com</h1> Related Articles - Click to Read: <a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US/user-warnings-200467" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#xA0;User Warnings</a> <a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US/safety-checks-before-entering-the-water-201685" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Safety Checks Before Entering the Water</a> <a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US/surf-etiquette-with-foil-drive-200491" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#xA0;Surf Etiquette with Foil Drive</a> To learn more, check out the other articles on our&#xA0;<a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Help Centre</a>&#xA0;which can be found under the &apos;Support&apos; tab on the website.&#xA0;As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us at&#xA0;<a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:support@foildrive.com">support@foildrive.com</a>.&#xA0;&#xA0;Happy Foil Driving!

text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Proposed Solution:- As pictured, the solution below is a moulded guard that replaces the rear section of the Universal Motor Pod if desired.- The guard that has been designed will be Injection Moulded in order to create a product that will withstand impact. Anything less, like a 3D printed material, will simply flex or crush on impact.- We considered a design that slides over the top of the existing part; however, this would then increase drag, and create excessive load on the three Motor Pod Bolts.- This is compatible with the V2 Universal Motor Pod Adaptor. You would need to upgrade your Motor Pod if you have an older, 2 piece Motor Pod. &#xA0; <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/glnj/hc/nym6/whatsapp%20image%202024-01-30%20at%206.17.24%20pm-074a08e9-3223-472c-97a1-667f352c7aac.jpeg" style="width: 688px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <span style="color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">The Pros:- &#xA0;Creates a basic barrier between propeller and body. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">The Cons:- Perceived Safety. Riders may rely on this part to project them and become negligent in propeller and foil safety- Experienced riders may not like the feeling of the propeller guard as the increased drag may cause them to crash unexpectedly when the propeller guard breaches. This would be similar to slamming the breaks on a car at high speed.- Most semi competent foilers will not enjoy the addition of the Prop Guard while riding... we all hate it at HQ!- Increased Drag- Reduced runtime and thrust<span id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(8, 188, 193); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Who this might be good forWe see the propeller guard as being something that could be used for leisure riders, children or those learning as an additional safeguard against propellers.Riders MUST be educated on safe riding and falling techniques as if there was no propeller guard to understand the risks involved in the sport they are partaking in. Motors aside, foils are sharp and can cause harm and safety is imperative. <span style="color: rgb(8, 188, 193); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Proposed Cost EstimateAs a reasonable solution requires Injection Moulding and large quantities are required, we estimate this part to be AUD $250 (USD $163). This fee is not estimated as it is to include markup, but simply covers the cost of manufacturing of the part. <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/glnj/hc/nym6/foil-drive-proposed-propeller-guard-c05af509-c73b-4353-8395-967fb83acd32.jpg" style="width: 693px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> To learn more, check out the other articles on our&#xA0;<a href="https://help.foildrive.com/en-US" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Help Centre</a>&#xA0;which can be found under the &apos;Support&apos; tab on the website.<p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(31, 33, 36); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;San Francisco&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5;"> <p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(31, 33, 36); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;San Francisco&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5;">As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us at <a data-fr-linked="true" href="mailto:support@foildrive.com">support@foildrive.com</a>.&#xA0;<p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(31, 33, 36); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;San Francisco&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5;"> <p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(31, 33, 36); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;San Francisco&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5;">Happy Foil Driving!<p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(31, 33, 36); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;San Francisco&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5;"> &#xA0;
