3.1 - Precautions
Quick® thrusters have been designed and constructed only for nautical use.
• Do not use these products for any other type of operation.
• Quick®shall not be held liable for direct or indirect damage caused by improper use of the product.
• The product is not designed to support loads generated in particular atmospheric conditions (storms).
• Operate the product from a position where it is possible to supervise the work area.
• Always deactivate the thruster when not being used.
• For improved safety, we recommend installing at least two controls to operate the product in case one is damaged.
• The installer shall bear full responsibility for any problems caused by defective installation of the tunnel.
• This equipment is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities.
• Do not install the electric motor near easily inammable objects.
3.2 - Precautions for the installer
CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION IN GOOD LIGHTING CONDITIONS.
It is advisable to wear suitable clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE).
The product is not suitable for installation in potentially explosive environments and/or atmospheres.
Installation and subsequent inspection or repair work must only be carried out by qualied personnel.
CARRY OUT INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE WORK MAKING SURE THAT THE PRODUCT IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
Quick®accepts no responsibility for inadequate connection of users to the electrical system and inadequate safety of
the electrical system.
3.3 - Installation requirements
We recommend you entrust preparation and positioning of the tunnel in the hull to a skilled professional.
These are generic instructions and do not give details of the preparatory operations for installing the thruster, since this is the
competence of the boatyard. The installer shall bear full responsibility for any problems caused by defective installation.
Although all the components and mechanical moving parts are of high quality, the correct installation of the driving unit is an
essential basis for the safe and effective use of the boat as well as the driving unit itself.
The installation of such a unit is an operation that requires experience as well as technical skills. It is recommended that the
installation be carried out by competent personnel and that the manufacturer or naval architects be consulted to fully assess
the scope of the work.
The Quick® retractable thruster has two separate movements.
The main movement, relative to the driving unit, is of the tilting type. The hinges on which the movement takes place are
designed for assembly high resistance and are located on the plane of the at anging that links the pre-assembled structure to
the support integral to the hull.
The secondary movement relates to the closing movement of the thru-hull from which the tunnel comes out. This tilting
movement is performed around the hinge that has been designed and manufactured for an interference-free opening of the
hatch (if installed as instructed).
Electric motor, gearbox, linkages and all other components are supplied by Quick® already assembled on the GRP
support structure and do not require adjustments, adaptations or sealing, unless specied in this manual.
The Quick® retractable thruster is sold separately from the counter ange which can be supplied in different materials
based on the different type of hulls. Quick® can provide stainless steel, aluminium alloy or GRP supports, which are essential for
a fast, sturdy and precise installation.
For breglass hulls, the support must be laminated in the hull in compliance with current regulations on joints.
The driving unit distributes mechanical stresses to the hull through the counter ange. The strength of the joint will be
determined by overlapping laminations, made in a “workmanlike” way.
For aluminium alloy hulls or stainless steel hulls, the support needs to be welded to the hull.
If well done, the installation of a box structure such as that of the support can give greater strength to the hull. Refer to the
manufacturer, naval architects and/or specialised companies to evaluate additional works such as beams and supporting
structures near the position of the retractable driving unit.

4.0 - Thrusters position
• To avoid cavitation in the thruster, the tunnel must be positioned as low as possible.
• To avoid damage, position the retractable thruster so that the hatch is not affected by the thruster driving cone of the boat
(examples 1 and 2), in both directions of travel.
• The longer the lengths L1 and L2, the greater the thrust generated around the barycentre.

• Insert the two end-of-stroke cables into the appropriate seats.
• Place the two cable stops, tension the two cables, making
sure that both springs are tensioned at the same length, and
tighten the cable stops with a 2.5mm Allen wrench.
• Secure the cable stop by tightening the locknut with an
8 mm fork wrench, cut the excess cable with wire cutters
leaving approx. 20mm beyond the cable stop.
• Power the retractable thruster (g. 22) which will
automatically close.
• To ensure correct operation, open the hatch a few times via
the control (g. 23).

6.1 - Actuator current rotary selector
The ten selectable steps (from 0 to 9) allow you to set a percentage referring to the “maximum current/load” allowed for the
actuator in use (see table).

If a setting other than the factory setting is required, proceed as follows:
1) With the board not powered, place the arrow of the rotary selector in the desired position.
2) After powering the board again, the percentage corresponding to the selected position will be automatically set.
If the maximum current/load limit is too low compared to the real needs of use, the thermal cut-outs of the actuator may be
tripped during retractable thruster closing and opening with error 1 and 7 ashing.

7.0 - Light signals
ERROR LED (RED)
NUMBER OF
FLASHES DESCRIPTION
NONE No fault detected.
1
High rising actuator absorption (retractable unit closing).
The signal is triggered after the system has made three attempts to rise in the presence of mechanical friction above the set
threshold. The problem can be caused by a foreign body entering the mechanism, the boat sailing at high speed, or mechanical
problems with the retractable thruster and its hatch.
2
Fuse open.
A current absorption greater than 10A has occurred. The problem may occur if there is a short circuit or overload on the actuator
power line. Check the wiring of the power lines from the board to the actuator or the absorption of the actuator itself.
3
Abnormal limit switch condition.
The problem is reported if the board detects a fault on the limit switches (both activated). Check the power line wiring from the
board to the limit switches and their operation.
4
Actuator control line interruption.
The problem is reported if the board detects an interruption in the actuator control power line. Check the wiring of the power
lines from the board to the actuator.
5Actuator movement timeout tripped.
The problem is reported if the movement imparted to the actuator is not carried out within a period of 15 seconds.
6Incorrect dip-switch conguration.
The problem is reported if the dip-switch positions are not set correctly.
7
High lowering actuator absorption (retractable unit opening).
The signal is triggered after the system has made three attempts to lower in the presence of a mechanical friction above the set
threshold. The problem can be caused by a foreign body entering the mechanism, the boat sailing at high speed, or mechanical
problems with the retractable thruster and its hatch.
8
High absorption of motor reversing contactor control output.
The problem is reported if the board detects a short circuit or overload on the motor control power line. Check the wiring of the
power lines from the board to the motor and the absorption of the reversing contactor/motor unit installed on the retractable
thruster.
9
Motor thermal cut-out tripped.
The problem is reported if the thermal cut-out of the motor has tripped.
Wait for it to cool down.
Interruption of motor reversing contactor control output connection.
The problem is reported if the board detects an interruption in the motor control power line.
Check the wiring of the power lines from the board to the reversing contactor/motor unit installed on the retractable thruster.
Below is the meaning of the light signals provided by the RTC R1 board (see electronic board on page 13).
