2022

Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury, damage and will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID.
MC_0411

General Operation Considerations and Precautions Guidelines

MC_0444

For the operation of thrusters

MC_0418

Never use thrusters when close to objects, persons or animals in the water. The thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and the rotating propellers. This will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.
Always turn the main power switch off before touching any part of the thruster. An incidental start while touching moving parts can cause serious injuries.
It is the owner, captains or 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.

· Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use or when leaving the boat.
· When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster. · Never use thrusters out of water. · If the thruster stops giving thrust while running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately stop running the thruster
and turn it off. Running the thruster for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller can cause serious damage to the thruster.
· If two panels are operated with conflicting 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 you notice any faults with the thruster switch it off to avoid further damage. · The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre or dock the vessel. Forward or reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.

For the operation of electric thrusters

MC_0004

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 150°C and will cause damage to nearby items or cause a fire.

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

· 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 serious malfunction.
· We advise keeping the main engine(s) running while using the thruster. This will keep the batteries in a good charge condition. It will also give better performance to the thruster.
· If the performance of the thruster is reduced check the battery system or check the tunnel for marine growth.
· The electric motor, its components, contacts/ plugs or other joints in the control cables must be mounted so they will remain dry at all times.

For the operation of DC electric motors

MC_0419

· The DC electric motor will generate some carbon dust during operation. Ensure any storage compartments are separated from the thruster area to prevent nearby items from becoming dusty.

· The maximum continuous run time of the electrical thruster is approximately 3 minutes. The electrical motor includes a built-in thermal cut off switch that will shut down the motor when it detects overheating. Consider this when planning your manoeuvring.

NEVER Disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected assembly. Tampering with the Ignition Protected assembly will cause it to lose this safety feature. If there is a problem with your Ignition Protected motor, please contact your dealer.

User Operation

MC_0059

! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! The following is an operation guide to ALL Sleipner control products. Ensure to familiarise yourself with the functionality and operation of your specific control device.
Take time to practice operation in open water to become familiar with the thruster and to avoid damages to your boat or people.

General operation 1. Turn on the main power switch for the bow thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch when not on-board.)

2. Turn on the control panel by pushing the/ both "ON" button(s) on the original Sleipner panel simultaneously. *Turn off the control panel by pushing the "OFF" button

3. To Turn the bow/ stern in the desired direction:

Button control panels For button control, push the button in the corresponding direction you wish the bow/ stern to move.

Joystick control panels For joystick control, move the joystick in the direction
you wish the bow/ stern to move.

(NB: If equipped for proportional control move the joystick equivalent to the amount of thrust you intend to receive.) * For other controls like foot switches or toggle-switches please refer to that products user manual for detailed operational use.

Hold functionality If equipped with `hold' functionality push the button in the corresponding direction you wish the thrusters to engage a holding pattern:

Hold Button + or -
Will increase or decrease the holding force output of the thrusters
Operating a combined bow and stern thruster The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to move the bow and the stern separately from each other or in unison. This enables the boat to move sideways in both directions or turn the boat around a 360º axis while staying stationary.

Remote controls

Ensure the remote control is held in the same direction as the boat during operation.

Drift Depending on the sideways speed of the bow/ stern, you must disengage the control device shortly before the vessel is in the desired position. (NB: Be aware the boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster control.)
At any significant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little effect to steer the vessel.

Maintenance
As a part of the seasonal service of your Thruster before every season, always check that:

MC_0045

In Water

· The area around the thruster inside the boat is clean and dry. Ensure there are no signs of water leaks.

· All electrical connections are clean and fastened firmly.

· Ensure that your batteries are in good condition.

Out of Water

· Check the propeller(s) or tunnel for any damage for example impact damage.

· The propeller(s) is fastened securely to the gear leg.

· Check all components of thruster are fastened securely.

· Clean the tunnel and gear leg from marine growth.

· Paint the propeller and gear leg with anti-fouling before every season to keep it clean from sea growth. (NB: Never paint the anode, sealing or propeller shaft. Ensure paint does not enter the space between the propeller and the gear leg.)

· Change the anode before every season, or when half the anode has eroded. Always use a sealant or thread glue on the holding screw to ensure that it does not fall off.

· Check the gear leg is not leaking oil
