Trim instrument (DPX)
The instrument shows the current position of the drive within the
Trim range and the beginning of the Beach range. The position is
indicate by the scale as follows:
0–7 = Trim range.
7–10 = Beach range.
IMPORTANT! There is no automatic lockout between the Trim
and Beach ranges. Take care to observe the instrument when
trimming the drive out so that the drive does not enter the
Beach range.
Twin and triple installations
In twin and triple installations the drives may be trimmed individually
within the permitted trim range.
WARNING! When lifting drives within the Beach range both
drives must be always lifted at the same time – in parallel –
so as not to place an undue strain on the parallel strut between
the drives.
When lifting in parallel the drive must be first trimmed to its foremost
position (0). Start the lift from this position.
When lowering the drives it is important that they are lowered in paral-
lel to avoid snapping the parallel strut.
Trim/tilt motor protection DP-S
IMPORTANT! Always allow the trim/tilt switch to return to its
center position when the drive unit reaches the maximum rai-
sed or lowered position. This will prevent your trim/tilt motor
from overheating.
The trim/tilt motor is protected from overheating by an internal ther-
mal overload switch. Should the electric motor stop while tilting, re-
lease the switch and allow the overload switch to cool and automa-
tically reset itself. When the overload switch has reset, tilting may
be resumed. Make sure the drive unit is not being restrained, cau-
sing the motor to overheat. If the trim motor still does not function,
check the circuit breaker on the pump/pump bracket (10 A), the in-
line fuse (5A) in the Power Trim switch cabling (if mounted). Also
check the circuit breaker on the fuse box (55 A). Please refer to
Electric system for more information.
