• Pastikeun sadaya sambungan listrik aman sareng diisolasi kalayan leres pikeun nyegah korsleting sareng korosi.
• Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with marine electrical and mechanical systems.
• Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the propeller when the thruster is in operation or connected to power.
• Refer to local regulations and standards for marine equipment installation.

3. Setup jeung Instalasi

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your thruster. Follow these guidelines carefully.

3.1 Ngabongkar sareng Inspeksi

Upon receiving the thruster, carefully unpack all components and inspect for any signs of shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.

3.2 Tunnel Installation

The thruster tunnel must be securely integrated into the vessel's hull. Ensure the tunnel is positioned correctly to avoid cavitation and maximize thrust efficiency.

• Determine the optimal location for the thruster tunnel, typically forward of the keel and away from other underwater appendages.
• Cut a hole in the hull according to the specified diameter for the TT 185 thruster tunnel.
• Securely bond the tunnel into the hull using appropriate marine-grade epoxies or sealants, ensuring a watertight seal.

3.3 Motor and Gearbox Assembly Installation

Mount the motor and gearbox assembly onto the installed tunnel.

1. Ensure the mounting surface on the tunnel is clean and flat.
2. Position the motor and gearbox assembly onto the tunnel flange, aligning the propeller shaft with the tunnel.
3. Secure the assembly using the provided fasteners, tightening them to the recommended torque specifications.
4. Verify that the 5-blade propeller is free to rotate within the tunnel without obstruction. The spline-driven propeller design eliminates the need for a drive pin.

3.4 Sambungan Listrik

Connect the thruster to the vessel's 12V DC electrical system. Use appropriately sized marine-grade cabling and circuit protection.

• Connect the main power cables to the thruster motor terminals, observing correct polarity.
• Install a suitable fuse or circuit breaker in the main power supply circuit, as specified in the electrical diagram.
• Connect the control wiring to the thruster control panel.
• Ensure all connections are tight and protected from moisture and corrosion.

4. Parentah Operasi

The Lewmar TT 185 thruster is designed for intermittent use to assist with docking and maneuvering in confined spaces.

4.1 Cék Pra-Operasi

• Ensure the thruster area is clear of obstructions.
• Verify that the vessel's battery voltage is adequate for thruster operation.
• Confirm all electrical connections are secure.

4.2 Operasi Dasar

1. Turn on the main power switch for the thruster system.
2. Use the control panel joystick or buttons to activate the thruster in the desired direction (port or starboard).
3. Apply thrust in short bursts (typically 2-3 seconds) rather than continuous operation to prevent overheating.
4. Allow a brief cool-down period between bursts of thrust.
5. After use, turn off the main power switch for the thruster system.

Note: The thruster provides equal thrust in both directions due to its high-performance 5-blade propellers.

5. Pangropéa

Regular maintenance ensures the reliability and extends the lifespan of your Lewmar thruster. Always disconnect power before maintenance.

5.1 Pamariksaan Tahunan

• Inspect the propeller for damage, fouling, or marine growth. Clean as necessary.
• Check all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Clean and re-tighten as required.
• Examine the motor housing and gearbox for any signs of leaks or damage. The thruster features a high-integrity seal and requires no reservoir or maintenance for the gearbox.
• Verify the integrity of the tunnel bonding to the hull.

5.2 Winterization

If operating in freezing conditions, ensure the thruster tunnel is drained or protected from ice formation.
