Information and Safety
Thank you for selecting a Side-Power Stabilizer System. We hope your Stabilizer System will
meet your expectations and increase your comfort level on board.
This guide is intended as a quick guide for the operator of the vessel. More detailed instruc-
tions including drawings, schematics and diagrams are available in the installation instructions
and service manual. Sleipner Motor AS is not responsible for injury or damage as a result of
the use of the Stabilizer system.
General description
The Side-Power Stabilizer System consists of two under water moveable fins located on shaft
and actuator assemblies penetrating through each side of the yachts hull and hydraulically pow-
ered with a Side-Power compact Hydraulic System. The system is electronically gyro controlled
utilizing the Side-Power S-link (CanBus) network system & stabilizes the yachts rolling motion in
the water at various speeds and sea conditions or at anchor (optional).
General Information, Safety Precautions and Warnings.
Prior to operation and use it is important the operator reads this manual thoroughly to ensure
necessary knowledge of the product and safety measures.
WARNING!
Information given or illustrated as a WARNING may cause personal injury if it is disregarded.
IMPORTANT!
Information given or illustrated as IMPORTANT may cause system and property failure if it is disre-
garded.
NOTE!
Information given or illustrated as a NOTE will facilitate correct operation and use of the Side-Power
system.

4Stabilizer Operation and User guide version 5288-2 - 2018
Before activating the stabilizer system, ensure that:
(It is recommended that following notes are included in the boats operator manual)
IMPORTANT!
• Always ensure that there are no leakages, hydraulic oil level is correct and cooling pump
is running. Always check/monitor system temperature and pressure from the panel when
system is running.
• You either have one or both main engines running, or an alternative hydraulic power source
(like the AC powerpack).
Always keep the stabilizer system active when running the boat in
planning or “fast” semi-planning mode - also when on calm water.
• The reason for this is to perform their stabilizing function to the required level, the fins are
a large part of the boats directional and heel stability, especially at high speeds when the
boats wet surfaces and direct hull forces are reduced. If you leave the fin stabilizer system
off so the fins are left in a fixed position, this can make the boat behave differently then
expected at high speeds.
• With the stabilizer system active, it will ensure that the boats behaviour is predictable and
as comfortable as possible at all times, improving comfort also on calm water.
• If, due to a malfunction or other reason you are unable to run with the stabilizers active, we
strongly recommend that you run at a maximum speed where the boat is not planning so
that the boats own directional and heel stability is the dominant factor.
Reverse the boat in minimal speed if the fins are not in LOCKED
position.
• The fins should automatically center and lock if you put the boat in reverse, but if this
should not happen for some reason (hydraulic failure, reverse sensor malfunction etc.) it is
important that you only reverse the boat as slow as possible.
Safety
WARNING!
• There are no people in the water swimming around the boat
• There are no risk of the fins hitting anything, the dock, dock mooring lines or any
other submerged objects close to the boat when they start moving.
• There are no people close to the actuator mechanisms.

BOAT HANDLING RESTRICTIONS L1 L2 L3 L4
Remember the general warning about high speed running without active stabilizers X X X X
Do not reverse the boat in more than absolute minimal speed X X X
Do not run forward in more than the minimum necessary steering speed X X X
If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate any hydraulics - run main engines
(if pumps are connected) at less load while giving the oil time to cool down. X
If you are running out of oil in your tank - beware that the pumps will be destroyed if
run dry and can then also cause other damage to the power source driving them. If
you have to run engines with pumps directly fitted, disconnect mechanically the pump
first so that it does not pump. If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate
X
If an alarm occurs so the stabilizer system is not running, but the fins are centred and locked, you can
operate the boat normally, remembering the general warning about high speeds and inactive stabiliz-
ers. See Alarm list and boat handling restrictions in table below for more details.

WARNING!
If the fins are NOT centred and locked, do NOT run forward in more than the minimum
