Fitting the electromotor
EN
1. Turn the driveshaft in the gearhouse and the motor shaft so the track for the shear pin has a corresponding direction with the shear pin in the motor
coupling.
Fig 2.
Use the enclosed template to measure the driveshaft has come through the motor bracket with the correct height
Fig 1b
.
2.
Slide the motor gently onto the driveshaft and motor bracket. You might have to jiggle it a bit to get it on as the fitting is tight. The electromotor can
sit in all directions on the bracket. Ensure the cable terminals are available for electric installation later.
3. Fasten the motor loosely to the bracket with the provided bolts.
4. Tighten the bolts holding the motor to the motorbracket with
17Nm /12,4 lb/ft as shown in Fig. 3.
5.
Check the drive system by turning the propeller, it will be a little hard to turn (because of the gear reduction and the motor), but you should easily
be able to turn it by hand.
In some cases (shallow installation or workboat/fishing boat only) we recommend to protect the propeller by mounting a grid in the tunnel opening. It
is important to keep a grid to a minimum and as streamlined for the thrusters waterflow as possible, as it will decrease the effect of the thruster. Do not
circular profile steel as it will decrease thrust significantly.
Note!
Paint the gearhouse and propeller with antifouling made for propellers. Do not paint the propeller shaft, the anodes or the end face of the gearhouse.
Note!
Do not run the thruster for more than very short bursts without being in the water.
Note!
If the boat is still being built when the electromotor is installed, it must be covered up to avoid dust from the building going into the motor and the sole-
noids. This cover must be removed before the thruster is being used.
