Checklist for DC and IP Thrusters

�.......... Propeller is fastened correctly to the shaft.

�.......... Propeller turns freely in tunnel.

�.......... The anode holding screw is tightened well with thread glue.

�.......... Anti-fouling have been applied to the gearhouse and propeller but NOT on the anode or the

gearhouse lid where the propeller is fastened.

�.......... Correct drive direction as per controlpanel.

�.......... The bolts holding the gearhouse and motorbracket together are tightened correctly.

�.......... The bolts holding the motor to its bracket are tightened correctly.

The thruster has been installed as per the instructions in this manual and all points in checklist above have been controlled.

Important Thruster User Considerations and Precautions

• Ensure you know the location of the main battery switch that disconnects the thruster from all power sources (batteries) so the thruster can

be turned off in case of a malfunction.

• Always turn the main power switch off before touching any part of the thruster, as an incidental start while touching moving parts can cause serious

injuries.

• Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use.

• The maximum continues run time of the electrical thruster is approximately 3 minutes. The electromotor has a built-in thermal cut-off switch that will

shut off the electro-motor if it is overheating and re-engage when it has cooled down. Consider this when planning your manoeuvring.

• As above this also means that the thruster will limit its total running time per period so that you can not count on the thruster to hold you in a current

and side wind for extensive periods. Depending on the surrounding temperatures etc. the thruster will be able to run approximately 10 % of the time.

• Never use a thruster close to objects/ persons or animals in the water, as the thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and contact with the

rotating propellers will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.

• With the boat on land, only run the thruster for a fraction of a second, as without resistance it will accelerate very fast to a damaging rpm.

• While the thruster is in the air, make sure that the propellers have come to a complete stop before performing a directional change of the thruster, as it

might cause damage to the thruster.

• If the thruster stops giving thrust while the electro-motor is running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately

stop trying to run the thruster and turn it off . Running the electromotor for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller, can cause

serious damage to the electromotor.

• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.

• We advise keeping the main engine(s) running while using the thruster. As this will keep the batteries in a good charge condition. It will also give better

performance to the thruster, as a higher voltage at the thruster results in a higher torque (power) in the electromotor.

• Please note that the performance of a thruster strongly depends on the voltage available at the electromotor. This voltage will decrease over time

because ageing batteries will have reduced capacity. By installing new batteries the eff ect of the thruster should be back at the original level.

• Make sure that only one control is used at the same time, if two panels are operated in opposite directions at the same time the thruster will not run. If

both are operated in the same direction, the thruster will run in this direction.

• If the thruster is not performing or functioning as usual, the cause must be found and corrected as soon as possible to avoid causing any other or

further damage to the equipment. You must also turn off the main battery switch immediately in case the problem is of electric origin.

• Never store items (e.g. equipment, sails, ropes etc.) in the same compartment as the thruster. When the thruster runs for an extended period, it can

reach 100°C and will cause damage to nearby items. The electromotor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartment must be

separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items from becoming dusty/ dirty. Do not store items close to the thruster motor as it can reach 100°C.

Any loose items near the thruster motor can cause problems with electrical wiring coming loose and short-circuiting.

• The electromotor, its components, contacts/ plugs or other joints in the control cables must be mounted so they will remain dry at all times.

• It is the owner/ captain/ other responsible parties full responsibility to assess the risk of any unexpected incidents on the vessel. If the thruster stops

giving thrust for some reason while manoeuvring you must have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other objects.

• The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre/ dock the vessel. Forward/ reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.

IMPORTANT

Failure to follow the above precautions can cause serious injury / damage and will render all warranty given by Sleipner

Motor AS void.
