Check the carbon brushes for wear ­ in normal use once per year ­
with very intensive use of the bow thruster, e.g. with hire vessels,
once every two months.
Remove the Protective cover from the relay and then the Protec­ •
tive cover to the brushes.
Clean the carbon brushes, the holders and the collector. (Blow •
away the dust coming off the brushes.)
Check the length of the carbon brushes and replace before the •
minimum length (L min) is reached. Also check the collector for
excessive wear.
For minimum length and art. code, see page 70.
The brushes can be taken out of the holders by releasing the re­ •
taining spring.
The bow thruster tailpiece has long­term lubrication.
