The CRUISER is protected with an automatic circuit breaker and temperature sensors.
If the motor stops while running, it needs to be reset. Before resetting check that the
propeller is free for seaweed or other objects. If the battery temperature is too high,
the CRUISER needs time to cool down.
Remove kill switch and re-connect for system reset.
