1.
Measure voltage and verify no significant temporary voltage drops occur during operation.
2.
Check power supply connections and verify that all cables have the correct dimensions.
Wire diameters shall be 12 AWG or larger.
3.
Verify power supply is not connected via automatic thermal/magnetic fuses.
4.
Connect Zipwake directly to a new separate battery to completely rule out the power supply as

1.
Check that the blades are moving correctly – run Interceptor Check. Compare with the results
obtained for the Interceptor Check executed in connection to the installation. In case of any
indication the blades are obstructed (Interceptor Check readout not in the green range), check for
excessive marine growth, dirt, paint or sealant on interceptor’s moving parts.
2.
Remove the Interceptor front and verify that the blade and backplate’s connecting rod are moving
freely (shall be easy to move by hand).
3.
Verify the servo is working properly and runs freely - run Interceptor Check with the front
removed, and also with the SU-S removed from the backplate. The readings should be distinctly
lower than the result with the front and blade mounted.
4.
Verify no components are missing (screws, seal).
5.
Verify the back plate is mounted flat within tolerance according to installation guide,
see illustration below.
6.
Correct (clean or replace) any idientified source that obstruct the interceptor blade movement.
• The electronics sense too high load to the SU-S electrical motor.
Connecting rod shall move freely. Transom flatness tolerance.
