DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
Sleipner Motor AS
P.O. Box 519, Arne Svendsensgt. 6-8
N-1612 Fredrikstad, Norway
Declare that this product with accompanying standard control systems complies
with the essential health and safety requirements according to:

Responsibility of the User Operating Thrusters
• 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.
• 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.
• If two panels are operated with conflicting 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 primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre or dock the vessel. Forward or reverse speed
must not exceed 4 knots when operated.
Never use thrusters when close to objects, persons or animals 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.
It is the owner, captains or 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.

User Operation MC_0059a5
General operation
1. Turn on the main power switch for the bow thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch
when not on-board.)
2. Turn on the control panel by pushing the/ both “ON” button(s) on the original Sleipner panel
simultaneously. *Turn off the control panel by pushing the “OFF” button
3. To Turn the bow/ stern in the desired direction:
The following is an operation guide to ALL Sleipner control products. Ensure to familiarise yourself
with the functionality and operation of your specifi c control device.
Take time to practice operation in open water to become familiar with the thruster and to avoid
damages to your boat or people.
Hold Button
+ or -
Will increase or decrease the holding force output of the thrusters
Button control panels
For button control, push the button in the
corresponding direction you wish the bow/
stern to move.
Joystick control panels
For joystick control, move the joystick in the
direction you wish the bow/ stern to
move.
(NB: If equipped for proportional control move the joystick equivalent to the amount of thrust you
intend to receive.)
* For other controls like foot switches or toggle-switches please refer to that products user manual
for detailed operational use.
Hold functionality
If equipped with ‘hold’ functionality push the button in the corresponding direction you wish the
thrusters to engage a holding pattern:
User Operation MC_0059a5
Operating a combined bow and stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to move the bow and the
stern separately from each other or in unison. This enables the boat to move sideways in both
directions or turn the boat around a 360º axis while staying stationary.
Remote controls
Drift
Depending on the sideways speed of the bow/ stern, you must disengage the control device shortly
before the vessel is in the desired position.
(NB: Be aware the boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster control.)
At any signifi cant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little effect to steer the
vessel.
Ensure the remote control is held in the same direction as the boat during operation.

When installing an S-Link™ system DO NOT connect any other control equipment directly to the
S-Link™ bus except original Sleipner S-Link™ products. In case of connecting third-party equipment,
it must always be connected through a Sleipner-supplied interface product.
Any attempt to directly control or connect into the S-Link™ control system without a designated and
approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities of all of the connected Sleipner
products.
If you are interfacing the S-Link™ bus by agreement with Sleipner through a designated Sleipner
supplied interface, you are still required to install at least one original Sleipner control panel to
enable efficient troubleshooting if necessary. MC_0105
