Put the foot pedal/hand control (which ever you use) in the MOM position with the speed wide open. Push the lever on the TM that releases it and push down on the foot pedal at the same time. It will literally drive it self out of the water.. Works great!!!
I've had the same problem with my new TM, thanks for this tip, gonna try it.
