For electric motor thrusters
• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment.
(NB: Ignition Protected systems are tested to be installed in areas with possible explosive gases in accordance with ISO 8846)
• When installing the thruster electric motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is well ventilated to allow for cooling of the electro
motor.
• If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in-between.
- If the electro motor is positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.
- Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear house must be outside the tunnel.
• The electro motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.
• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling.
(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)
• Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-
fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Don’t install the electric motor close to easily flammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is
activated.
• Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor is a potential fi re hazard and can cause undesired short-
circuiting.
• Do not lift it by internal cable connections, main terminals.
• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.

Responsibility of the Installer
MC_0426
For DC electric motors
• The electro motor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items
becoming dusty/ dirty.
(NB: IP version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)
Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury,
damage and will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID.

For thruster systems
• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking
with the boat builder this can be done safely.
• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling.
(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)
• There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Never run the thruster out of water.
• The electric/ hydraulic motor must be handled with care. Do not place down the thruster on the motor drive shaft or gear leg if attached.
