INSTALLATION REQUISITES
As said, despite all components and moving mechanical parts are of high quality, the correct installation of the retractable pro-
pulsion unit is fundamental for a safe and efficient use of the boat, as well as of the same propulsion unit.
Please note that the installation of such unit is an operation requiring experience as well as technical competence. It is recom-
mended to entrust the installation to competent staff and to consult the manufacturer or naval architects to fully evaluate the
entity of the work.
The Quick retractable thruster
®
has two individual movements.
The main movement
, relating to the propulsion part, is of tilting type. The hinges on which the movement happens are con-
ceived to confer high resistance to the set and are located on the flat flange surface that joins the pre-assembled structure to
the hull solid support.
The secondary movement
relates to the closing of the through-hull fitting from where the tunnel exits. This movement is of
parallel link type and its range is not a simple revolution around the main pivot but a movement act at expelling, without interfe-
rences, the closing plate from the hole made in the hull.
Electric motor, gear, levers and all other components are supplied by Quick
®
, already assembled on the supporting structure in
GRP and do not require adjustments, adaptations or sealing, unless indicated in this manual.
The Quick retractable thruster
®
is sold separately from the counter flange, that can be supplied in different materials to comply
with the different types of hulls. Quick
®
is able to supply stainless steel, aluminium alloy or GRP supports, fundamental for quick,
solid and precise installation.
For the fi breglass hulls
the support must be laminate in the hull respecting the current Standards relating to joints. The pro-
pulsion unit distributes mechanical stresses to the hull through the counter flange. The force of the joint will be determined by
overlapped, up to standard, laminates.
For aluminium alloy hulls, like for stainless steel hulls
, the support must be welded to the hull.
If correct, the installation of a boxed structure like that of the support, can give greater sturdiness to the hull. Consult the manu-
facturer, naval architects and/or specialised companies to evaluate additional work which beams and ribs near the retractable
propulsion unit.
BEFORE USING THE RETRACTABLE THRUSTER, CAREFULLY READ THIS USER MANUAL.

WARNING:
the thruster Quick
®
have been designed and manufactured for nautical use.
Do not use these appliances for other uses.
Quick
®
shall accept no responsibility for direct or indirect damages caused by improper use of the appliance or an
improper installation.
The thruster is not designed for maintaining loads generated in particular atmospheric conditions (storms).
It is recommended to entrust arrangement and positioning of the tube on the hull to a professional. These are gene-
ral instructions and do not, in any way, illustrate details of the tunnel arrangement operations, which competence is of
the boatyard. The installer will be fully responsible for any damages caused by a faulty installation of the tunnel.
Do not install the electric motor near easily inflammable objects.
THE PACKAGE CONTAINS:
retractable thruster - user's manual - conditions of warranty.
