•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.
•This manual is intended to support educated / experienced staff.
• When installed in boats approved or classied according to international or special national
rules, the installer is responsible for following the demands in accordance with these regula-
tions / classication rules. The instructions in this guide can not be guaranteed to comply with
all different regulations / classication rules.
•The transmitter and the receiver have the same factory preset code so no programming is nec-
essary. When additional transmitters are to be used, follow the instructions in the programming
section.

Prior to installation, it is important that the responsible installer reads this guide to ensure
necessary acquaintance with this product.
WARNING!
• Install the receiver minimum 1 meter (3ft) from high power cables and data communication
cables or other sources of electrical interference, i.e. navigation instruments, radio communica-
tion devices, electric motors and generators.
• Install the receiver minimum 1 meter (3ft) above sea level.
• Install the receiver outside of shielded areas for radio signals, i.e. boxes made of metals or
other material with shielding properties.
• Install the receiver in a dry environment, where no condensation can enter the unit. (The
receiver assembly is not waterproof.)
• The receiver is powered by the S-link cable.
• Mount the receiver using the four holes (please see picture on page 5).
Note! Faulty installation will render all warranty given by Sleipner Motor AS void.

• Ensure that you know the location of the main battery switch that disonnects the thruster from
all power sources (batteries) so that the thruster/windlass can be turned off in case of a mal-
function.
• The maximum continues usage time of the electrical thruster is approx. 3 minutes. The electro
motor has a built in thermal cut-off switch that will shut it off when overheating and re-engage it
when it has cooled down some. This should be considered when planning your manouvering.
• Never use a thruster close to somebody in the water, as the thruster will draw objects close by
into the tunnel and contact with the rotating propellers will cause serious injuries.
• Never use a windlass close to somebody in the water, an unexpectedly drop of the anchor can
cuse serious injuries.
• If the thruster stops giving thrust while the electric motor is running, chances are that there is a
problem in the drive-system. You must then immediately stop trying to run it, and turn it off, as
running the electricmotor for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller,
can cause serious damage to the electricmotor.
• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster/windlass and turn
off the power to the receiver.
• We advice to always keep the main engine(s) running while using a thruster/windlass. This
will keep the batteries in a good charge condition. This will also give better performance to the
thruster.
• It is the owner/captain/other responsible party full responsibility to assess the risk of any
unexpected incidents on the vessel. If the thruster stops giving thrust for some reason while
maneuvering you must have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other
objects.

How to use a bow/stern thruster
1. Turn the main power switch for the bow/stern thruster on. Turn on the power to the receiver.
2. Turn on the transmitter by pushing the transmitter’s two “ON” buttons. The remote system is
now activated and then turns off automatically appr. 4 min. after the last usage.
3. Please take some time to exercise thruster usage in open water to avoid damages to your boat.
4. Turn the bow/stern in the desired directiony by pushing the red button for port movement or the
green button for starboard movement.
How to use a bow & stern thruster combined
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manouverability to the boat and the
opportunity to move the bow and the stern separately of each other. The remote middle buttons
gives you the opportunity to operate both thrusters in the same direction with one keypress,
making sidewards movement easier.
Remote Control Deactivation
Push the transmitter’s “OFF” button for 2 seconds (the remote control deactivates automati-
cally after approx. 4 minutes after the last usage).
• If in doubt, try in open water rst!

The original transmitter and receiver have the same factory preset code so that no programming
is necessary. When additional transmitters are to be used, the additional transmitters has to be
paired with the receiver.
1. Be sure there is power on the receiver (S-link status LED is blinking green or continous
green ) and the transmitter that should be paired is off.
2. Push the Pair Button on the receiver to put the receiver in pairing mode (as shown above).
The LINK/ACT LED should start to blinking.
3. Within 10s after the receiver pair button is pushed, set the transmitter in pairing mode by
holding the off button and pressing both “ON” buttons at the same time, all the transmitter
LED’s turn on indicating that it is set in pairing mode. When a pairing signal is received from
the receiver the transmitter LED’s while turn off and the system is ready to be used. If no
pairing signal received within 10s the transmitter will leave the pairing mode.
4. Additional transmitters must be programmed according to step 2-3. You can pair up to 4
transmitters.
5. To clear all transmitters paired with the receiver hold the pair button on the receiver for ap-
proximately 10s until the LINK/ACT LED stops blinking. When the LED stops blinking release
the pair button. The receiver is then ready to pair with up to four transmitters.

and gently ip the battery out, taking care not damaging the battery grips at point B.
3. Insert the new battery (Type CR2032, 3V - Brand name recommended). Be sure to insert the
battery with the positive pole up diagonally into the battery holder, ensuring that the edge of the
battery is under the battery grips (B). Press the battery down until secured at point A.
4. Close the transmitter. Put the cover back in place, ensure that the rubber seal between remote
