Important Thruster User Considerations and Precautions
EN
• 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.
• 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.
• The maximum continuous run time of the electrical thruster is approximately 3 minutes. The motor is equipped with a built-in thermal cut-off switch that
will shut the motor off when overheating. Consider this when planning your manoeuvring.
• 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.
• 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.
• If two panels are operated with confl icting 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 electro motor, its components, contacts/ plugs or other joints in the control cables must be mounted so they will remain dry at all times.
• 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.
Never use thrusters when close to objects/ persons or pets 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.
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 fi re. The electromotor will generate
some carbon dust so any storage compartment must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items from becoming
dusty/ dirty.
Any loose items near the thruster motor can cause problems with electrical wiring coming loose and short-circuiting.

NEVER Disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected assembly. Tampering with the Ignition Protected assembly will
cause it to lose this safety feature.

Thruster Operation
EN MC_0354
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
PJC211 PJC212
PRO proportional CONTROL PANEL
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 the Thruster
1. Turn on the main power switch for the thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch when not on-board.)
2. Turn on the control panel by pushing both “ON” buttons on the Side-Power panel simultaneously.
* Turn off the control panel by pushing both “OFF” button
(NB: Control panels designed for the hydraulic system have a replace the secondary ‘OFF’ button with a red ‘STOP’ button for an emergency
stop function.)
Joystick Control
To Turn the bow in the desired direction move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow to move.
Button Control
For ‘HOLD’ function.
* For other controls like foot switches or toggle-switches please refer to that products user manual for detailed operational 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.
(NB: At speed the side thruster will have little or no eff ect to steer the vessel.)
Proportional control thruster
For proportional control move the joystick equivalent to the amount of thrust you intend to receive.

Maintenance
EN
As a part of the seasonal service of your Thruster before every season, always check that:
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 fi rmly.
• 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
