MAX POWER 

→ 

Check all fittings for tightness and leaks.  

→ 

The transmission is already filled with oil at the time of delivery.  

→ 

Max Power uses HYPIOD HD 80W/90 oil in the transmission; therefore, fill the 
transmission lube oil header tank with similar grade oil. The function of this 
lubricant tank is to ensure a constant pressure, as well as a visual control of 
the oil-level. The tank should be filled to the ¾ level. Purge air in tube before 
fitting the pipe to the RETRACT.  
Performing the UP / DOWN tests (standard joystick control panel).  

→ 

Check UP / DOWN operation.  

→ 

This unit has a second function, in that it blocks the turbine in the down 
position when thrust is applied.  
Move joystick to port or starboard and check that the up/down hydraulic pump 
is pushing the turbine down. 
 

AFTER LAUNCHING 

 

→ 

Check for water leaks. 

→ 

Switch on the system power at the breaker and repeat the UP / DOWN tests.  

→ 

Execute a few short left and right manoeuvres to fill the circuits and thereby 
purge the system of all air. After each manoeuvre, check and fill if necessary, 
the hydraulic tank. Repeat until the level remains stable.  

 

Warning:

 All hydraulic systems develop very high pressures. Failure of piping, 

connections etc that have been improperly installed will most likely happen on start 
up. Stay clear of these components. Wear eye protection, and be aware that high-
pressure oil can cause major skin damage.  
 

→ 

Check the thrust direction:  

→ 

With the Joystick to the left (port), the vessel should move to port and 
conversely. If the direction is not correct, inverse to connectors on the 
hydraulic distributor.  

 
Once all the above tests have checked out correctly, you may now carry out the 
directional control valve (DCV) adjustments and the thrust tests.  
 

OPERATION AND USE

  

 

Operating Procedure If using standard max power control panel  

 
Switch on the system power breaker (main equipment panel).  
 
On the control panel:  
 
-  Turn, the red button switch to the right.  The red lamp will light, indicating that 

power is available, and the turbine is in the raised position.  

-  Pull the joystick towards your self (aft or down), the red light will extinguish, the 

alarm buzzer will sound until the green light illuminates. The unit is ready for use 
when the green light is lit and the buzzer is silent.  

-  Move the joystick to the left (port), the vessel will move to the port and conversely.
