Important Thruster User Considerations and Precautions
EN
• Always turn the main power switch off before touching any part of the thruster, as an incidental start while touching moving parts can cause serious
injuries.
• Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use.
• Never use a thruster close to objects/ persons or animals in the water, as the thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and contact with the
rotating propellers will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.
• With the boat on land, only run the thruster for a fraction of a second, as without resistance it will accelerate very fast to a damaging rpm.
• While the thruster is in the air, ensure that the propellers have come to a complete stop before performing a directional change of the thruster, as it
might cause damage to the thruster.
• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.
• Make sure that only one control is used at the same time. If two panels are operated in opposite 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 the thruster is not performing or functioning as usual, the cause must be found and corrected as soon as possible to avoid causing any other or
further damage to the equipment. You must also turn off the main battery switch immediately in case the problem is of electric origin.
• It is the owner/ captain/ 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.
• The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre/ dock the vessel. Forward/ reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow the Considerations and precautions can cause serious injury / damage and will render all warranty given
by Sleipner Motor AS VOID.

Thruster Operation
EN
Take time to practice operation in open water to become familiar with the thruster and to avoid damages to your boat or people.
How to use a Bow Thruster
1. Turn on the main power switch for the bow thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch when not onboard.)
2. Turn on the control panel by pushing both “ON” buttons on the original Side-Power panel simultaneously. (NB: If another type of control is
installed, push the On/Off switch for the bow thruster.)
* Turn off the control panel by pushing both “OFF” button
4. To Turn the bow in the desired direction push the red button for port movement or the green button for starboard.
- For joystick control, move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow to move.
-Other controls like footswitches or toggle-switches on the throttle can be used. Engage the port control, the bow will turn to port etc.
5. Depending on the sideways speed of the bow, you must disengage the control device shortly before the bow is in the desired position. (NB: The
boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster control.)
How to use a single stern thruster
Due to space limitations, a vessel may only have a stern thruster. In this case, the stern thruster is used in the same way as a single bow thruster
for moving the boat’s stern. Follow the above instruction for operation use.
How to use a combined bow and stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster off ers total manoeuvrability to the boat and the ability to move the bow and the stern separately from each
other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions and turn the boat around its axis 360º staying stationary.
Proportional control thruster
The overall operation of the thruster is the same as above. For proportional control move the joystick equivalent to the amount of thrust you intend to
receive.
NB: At any signifi cant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little eff ect to steer the vessel.

The ‘HOLD’ function is for auto-running of bow and stern thrusters together in the direction of the arrows at selected power.
Press “+” for more and “-” for less power (6 steps). The ‘HOLD’ function is normally used to hold the boat into the dock while mooring. The ‘HOLD’
function can be deactivated by running any thruster in the opposite direction from any control unit.
The ‘HOLD’ function can be calibrated to get balanced thrust from the bow and stern thruster.
See the PJC control panel manual on how to calibrate.
For safety! When oil pressure goes below 10bar, the ‘HOLD’ function is deactivated.
