d) If re-adjustment is necessary, care should be taken to re-adjust the detector so that
adjustment nuts do not touch the motor support when fully down and that the
detector grub screw (2.5mm Allen key screw) is tightened down after re-adjustment.
e) The thrust plate should not protrude from the mounting base, since it absorbs the
horizontal stresses when thrusting or manoeuvring. If protruding, adjust the down
position detector as described above.
f) When finished with the final adjustments, fix the alloy plate bracket by bolting through
the GRP turbine in addition to the cable clamps.
IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that the power supply to up/down motors is not
automatically interrupted if the proximity switches do not detect the position detectors. Care
must therefore be taken to remove ones finger from up or down button as soon as the unit
blocks in fully up or fully down position when closing plate adjustments are done and if
position detectors are not adjusted yet.

Installation Advice: In order to make sure that VIP is
raising and lowering smoothly and when closing plate
adjustments are made, one can do the following:
a) Connect 12V/24V directly to the two up/down
motors (depending on up / down motor voltage)
and simply reverse the polarity to change direction
(raise/lower).
Note. The Drive Screws rotate in opposite
directions, therefore the motors must turn in
opposite directions. If a supply is going to be
directly fed to the up / down motors for ease of
installation, then the positive of one motor should
be connected to the negative of the other motor
and vice versa.
It is important to install a 10A fuse in the
positive cable and to keep in mind that wires need
to be disconnected as soon as the up or down
position is reached or as soon as the unit blocks,
to avoid damaging the up/down motors.
b) If the unit blocks before reaching the up/down
position or if the unit vibrates excessively when
going up/down one needs to adjust the two
adjustment nuts to ensure the unit is completely
vertical to its base.
