INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
There is a sturdy additional support under the electric motor, taking the weight/ load of the electromotor

All necessary actions have been taken to ensure that the thrusters installation compartment will stay dry at all
times.
The electronic controlbox of the thruster have been remotely fitted in a high place where there are no chance
it will be submerged or splashed with water.
All electrical wiring, cable sizes and battery capacity is according to the thruster installation manual.
The unit has been moved by hand and found to run freely.
The gear house, oil-hose and oiltank are filled with oil

IMPORTANT USER ADVICE
Never use the thruster if there are people or animals swimming in the area around the thruster. The
thruster propeller can cause serious injuries when it is running.
WARNING ! Never store any items that can leak explosive gas in the same room where the sternthruster is
fitted. The thruster will create sparks that can cause an explosion if there are explosive gases present.
When the boat is going backwards in a “dirty” harbour with lots of floating objects / debris, this can be
“collected” by the transom of the boat. These objects / debris can cause damage to the thruster if
sucked into the tunnel while the thruster are being operated. All the thrusters are built with safety devices
(shearpin in the SP30Si / SP40Si / SP55Si & flexible couplings in the SP75Ti / SP95Ti / SP100HYD /
SP125Ti / SP155TCi / SP200TCi / SP220HYD / SP240TCi / SP285TCi / SP300HYD / SP550HYD
models) changeable from inside the boat, but damages can occur to other parts of the thruster in certain cases.
Always turn of the main power / disconnect the thruster from the batteries before touching any moving parts
of the thruster inside or outside the boat.
If the thruster does not move the boat/does not give any thrust you must immediately stop trying to run it and
turn off the main power switch until the reason for this is found and corrected.
This manual is in addition to the general thruster manual, so this must be read and understood also !
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Sleipner Motor AS assumes no responsibility or liability for the installation of any components.
Skilled installers should be used, and there might be unforeseen factors that can make one or more
installation instructions wrong or not entirely correct for the boat in question. The installation re-
sponsibility is thereby solely on the party that are actually performing the installation.
