IMPORTANT:

  

 

Professional qualified craftsmen must carry out the electrical work, and responsibility 
for the installation rests entirely in the hands of the installer. 

 

Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in the loss of guarantee coverage. 

 

WARNING:

  

 

The electric power must be turned off during installation. 

 

The minimum requirements stated below with reference to battery capacity, cable 
length and cable diameter must be adhered to in order to avoid reduced performance 
and operational malfunction.  

 

 

 

Battery capacity:

 Refer to XForce Thruster requirements (7.10). 

 

 

Recommended main switch: 

 

XF 60SR: Part no. 12-00050  

 

XF 90SR, XF130SR : Part no: 12-00087 

 

 
 

 

WARNING:

 

 

Mind your fingers when testing the thruster!  

 

Ensure that no objects are in the tunnel before testing! 

 

Make sure that the battery is fully charged before testing. 

 

The thruster must only be operated in water. 

 

Do not remove belt cover when power is connected 

 

 

NB:

 All cables between the battery and the thruster motor should be kept as short as possible 

for optimum performance. 

 

 

6.1. 

Touch panel installation  

 

Decide where to place the panel. 

 

Drill a Ø 15 mm hole. 

 

Thread the panel cable trough the hole. Clean the surface. 

 

Remove the covering paper on the back of the panel and stick 
the panel onto the surface. The holes in the panel corners may 
be used to fasten the panel with screws if needed. Tighten with 
care. 

 

NB:

 For optimum appearance, be particular about lining up the panel 

before sticking it on. 

 
 
 

6.2. 

Joystick (single/double) installation  

The joystick panel, (single or double), comes complete with; 

 

Joystick with gasket and connection plug(s)  

 

Drill template 

 

Self tapping screws 

 

Manual 
 

Mounting  

 

Turn off the main switch to the electrical thruster. 

 

Select the mounting position for the joystick panel. The desired 
position must be even and in a location that will prevent water 
from rain or sea spray to be able to access the back of the 
panel. Remove all grease, dust or dirt before affixing the drill 
template.
