17. SAFETY                                                                   

 

Switch off means to cut the power at both the DC equipment panel (control power supply) 

&  the  thruster  battery  isolator  (thruster  power  supply)  after  having  used  the  thruster. 

Under  no  circumstances  should  any  flammable  products  be  stored  next  to  the  electric 

components of the thruster. Care must be taken not to use the thruster in areas where 

there may be people swimming or in the water close to the thruster. 

 

CAUTION: 

Never tamper with the thruster / thruster turbine if not 100% sure that both the 

control and power circuits have been isolated, except if taking electrical measurements 

on the thruster motor or relay.  

 

 

18. MAINTENANCE 

 

 

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the thruster casing be opened.

 

Opening or modifying the thruster may result in it no longer being Ignition Protected. In 

case of a problem please contact your local Max Power distributor

 

 

Control panels should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in 

use. 

The thruster requires a minimum of ongoing maintenance: 

Check  the  condition  and  charge  of  the  batteries  regularly,  as  voltage  drop  is  the  most 

frequent cause of rapid deterioration of the relay. 

Carry  out  a  regular  check  of  all  electric  components:  batteries,  connections,  power 

cables. 

 

NOTE:

 All maintenance should be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. 

 

Composite drive leg and propellers: 

The composite drive leg is pre-filled with oil and sealed for life. It does not require the oil 

changing. 

The composite drive leg does not require an anode. 

The  composite  drive  leg  must  not  be  disassembled,  even  partially  (this  would  void  the 

warranty). 

When the boat is out of the water, check that there are no fishing lines, plastic bags, etc. 

caught in the propellers.s 

Paint  the  drive  leg  and  propellers  with  antifouling  (make  sure  that  they  were  well 

prepared and primer has been used). 

Always keep the propellers and tunnel clean. 

To prevent the build up of calcium on the drive shafts, which would damage the oil seals, 

cover the drive shaft and the oil seals’ stainless steel covers with silicon grease before 

fitting the propeller(s). This should be done on an annual basis after the cleaning of the 

outside of the leg. Do not use aggressive solvents as they may damage drive leg seals. 

If drive leg oil seals are found to be worn, replace the drive leg with a standard exchange 

unit.
