Motor Installation
1. Install the motor onto the motor bracket ensuring the couplings are engaged together correctly (top and bottom).
(NB: The motor can be placed
in all directions on the motor bracket. However, ensure the cable terminals are accessible for electrical installation later.)
2. If you are installing the motor at an angle of more than 30 degrees off vertical, the motor will require separate/ additional support.
(NB: Do not
position supports on the motors top cap.)
3. Fasten the bolts holding the motor to the motor bracket with the above torque.
4. Check the drive shafts are engaged by rotating the propeller.
(NB: Rotating the propellers can be hard due to the gear reduction and the motor,
however the propeller must be able to rotate via hand power.)

IMPORTANT
The thruster motor assembly must be protected using suitable covering to avoid dust/debris ingress from fabrication/maintenance/shipbuilding
operations. On completion of operations, the cover must be removed before operating the thruster.

1. Centre the drive pin and Insert the propeller onto the shaft spine. Rotate the propeller until the drive pin aligns with the internal slot in the
propeller.
2. Insert the washer to the end of the shaft spline. Tighten with the propeller lock-nut.
3. Insert the anode to the end of the propeller and tighten the anode holding screw. Apply a thread glue (Loctite 243 or similar) to ensure that the
anode holding screw does not unscrew itself from during the rotation of the propeller.
4. Apply anti-fouling to the gear leg and propeller. Do not apply anti-fouling to any rubber elements of the gear leg or anodes.
IMPORTANT
For twin counter-rotating gear legs, propellers are marked with P (Port) and S (starboard) and must be installed appropriately.
