How to use Side-Power thrusters
EN
1. Turn main power switch for the bowthruster on. (Always turn off the main
power switch when not onboard.)
2. Please take some time to exercise thruster usage in open water to avoid
damages to your boat.
3. Turn the control panel on by pushing both “ON” buttons on the original
Side-Power panel simultaneously. If another type of control is installed,
engage the On/Off switch for the bowthruster.
4. Turn the bow in the desired direction by pushing the red button for port
movement or the green button for starboard movement. If you have a
joystick control, move it in the direction you wish the bow to move. Other
controls like footswitches or toggle-switches on the throttle can be
used. These are normally logically installed, so by engaging the port con-
trol, the bow goes port etc. In case of any doubts, try in open waters first.
5. Depending on the sideways speed of the bow, you must disengage the
control device shortly before the bow is in the desired direction, as the
boat will continue to move after stopping the bowthruster.
How to use a single stern thruster
Some boats might however have installed a single stern thruster because of
space limitation in the bow. In this case the stern thruster is used in the same
way as a single bow thruster (see above) for moving the boat’s stern.
How to use a bow and stern thruster combined
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to
the boat and the opportunity to move the bow and the stern separately from
each other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions
and to turn the boat around its own axis staying at the same place.
• Again, if in doubt, try in open water first!
•
If original Side-Power panel is used, the panel shuts off automatically
approx 6-9 minutes after last use.
Hvordan bruke Side-Power thruster
NO
1. Skru på hovedstrømmen (skru alltid av hovedstrømmen når du ikke er
om bord i båten).
2. Det er fordel om de prøver baugthrusteren på åpent vann den første gangen.
3. Skru på kontrollpanelet ved å trykke inn begge ”on” knappene på
Side-Power panelet. Hvis annet en originalt panel brukes må dette skrus på.
4. Snu baugen i ønsket retning ved å trykke rød knapp for babord, og grønn
knapp for styrbord. Hvis du har joystickpanel så må stikka dyttes i den ret-
ning baugen skal vendes. Andre kontrollenheter som fotbrytere, eller bry-
tere på gass hendel kan også brukes. Disse er vanligvis logisk installert og
lette og operere. Ved tvil lønner det seg og prøve på åpent vann først.
