Electrical Installation
! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
ON/ OFF confi guration
Use a 4-lead control cable between the thruster and the automatic main switch. (NB: Only 3 leads are used, The red wire is not connected into the
automatic main switch.)
Proportional confi guration
Use 5-lead control cables between the automatic main switch and control panels. (NB: use 5-lead Y-connectors to branch off to all controls fi tted.)
Refer to the table in the thrusters manual for deciding the main cable sizes.
WARNING
Check the following with the main switch is set to off :
After all electrical connections have been completed check with an ohm meter that there is no electrical connection between
1. electro-motor flange and the positive terminal on the motor
2. electro-motor flange and the battery negative terminal on the motor
If unsure contact skilled personnel.

Service
Service/ maintenance
on all-electric equipment regularly Ensure:
- Equipment is clean and dry.
- Ensure all cable and other connections are tight and without signs of excessive heat or corrosion.
Troubleshooting
The control panel will not activate:
- Ensure the automatic main switch receives positive feed over its red thin lead.
(NB: If this goes over another main switch in the boat, make sure that this is ON.)
- Check the internal overheat switch (bi-metal switch on the circuit board) in the automatic main switch has not opened.
(NB: It automatically resets if it is open while the main switch is cold, contact your nearest Sleipner service for assistance.)
- Check 5A fuse installed on the red positive cable to the automatic main switch.
- Check the overheat switch in the electro motor has not blown due to excessive heat.
- Check all control cable connections against the wiring diagrams in the thrusters manual are correct.
The control panel activates, but the thruster will not run:
- Ensure the manual over-ride knob is in “ON” position (pulled out).
- Check that the main power fuse in the automatic main switch is not blown.
(NB: if so, ensure that it is the right size. If it is the correct size but the fuse continues to blow, the reason for this must be identifi ed.)
- Check the main switch activates when the control panel is activated. If not, check the wiring, especially that you have a constant
separate negative feed (thin black lead) and the control panel is feeding a positive into the yellow lead.
MC_0277
- Check there is power supplied to the thruster. If it is not while the previous points are checked OK, the main cables must be checked.
- If there is power at the thruster, measure the voltage at the main battery cable connection points into the thruster while running the thruster.
(NB: If below 8,5V (12V system) or 16V (24V system) Check the batteries and main cables to fi nd the reason for the voltage drop.)
Read the troubleshooting guide in the thrusters manual.
If you are unable to identify and resolve the problem, contact the nearest Sleipner service point for assistance. Have the notes from your
troubleshooting handy to inform the service person of what you have already checked and observed.

Warranty statement
1. Sleipner Motor AS (The “Warrantor”) warrants that the equipment (parts, materials, and embedded software of products) manufactured by
the Warrantor is free from defects in workmanship and materials for purpose for which the equipment is intended and under normal use and
maintenance service (the “Warranty”).
2. This Warranty is in effect for two years (Leisure Use) or one year (Commercial and other Non-leisure Use) from the date of delivery/purchase by
the end user, with the following exceptions;
(a) For demonstration vessels, or vessels kept on the water, the dealer is considered as the end user from 6 months after their launch of the
vessel;
(b) The warranty period starts no later than 18 months after the fi rst launch of the vessel.
Please note that the boat manufacturer and dealer must pay particular attention to correct maintenance and service both by the products
manuals as well as general good practice for the location the boat is kept in the period the boat is in their care. In cases where the 6 and 18
months grace periods for boat builders and dealers are passed, it is possible to obtain a full warranty upon inspection and approval of the
warrantor or such representative.
3. Certain parts, classifi ed as wearable or service parts, are not covered by the warranty. A failure to follow the required maintenance and service
work as described in the product manual render all warranty on parts or components directly or indirectly affected by this void. Please also note
that for some parts, time is also a factor separately from actual operational hours.
4. This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specified warranty period.
5. The warranty does not apply to defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse or misuse of the equipment including
exposure to excessive heat, salt or fresh water spray, or water immersion except for equipment specifically designed as waterproof.
6. In case the equipment seems to be defective, the warranty holder (the “Claimant”) must do the following to make a claim:
(a) Contact the dealer or service centre where the equipment was purchased and make the claim. Alternatively, the Claimant can make the
claim to a dealer or service centre found at www.sleipnergroup.com. The Claimant must present a detailed written statement of the nature
and circumstances of the defect, to the best of the Claimant’s knowledge, including product identifi cation and serial nbr., the date and place of
purchase and the name and address of the installer. Proof of purchase date should be included with the claim, to verify that the warranty period
has not expired;
(b) Make the equipment available for troubleshooting and repair, with direct and workable access, including dismantling of furnishings or similar,
if any, either at the premises of the Warrantor or an authorised service representative approved by the Warrantor. Equipment can only be returned
to the Warrantor or an authorised service representative for repair following a pre-approval by the Warrantor’s Help Desk and if so, with the
Return Authorisation Number visible postage/shipping prepaid and at the expense of the Claimant.
7. Examination and handling of the warranty claim:
(a) If upon the Warrantor’s or authorised service Representative’s examination, the defect is determined to result from defective material or
workmanship in the warranty period, the equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s option without charge, and returned to the
Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. If, on the other hand, the claim is determined to result from circumstances such as described in section
4 above or a result of wear and tear exceeding that for which the equipment is intended (e.g. commercial use of equipment intended for leisure
use), the costs for the troubleshooting and repair shall be borne by the Claimant;
(b) No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Claimant, unless the Warrantor is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable
number of opportunities to do so. In the event that attempts to remedy the defect have failed, the Claimant may claim a refund of the purchase
price, provided that the Claimant submits a statement in writing from a professional boating equipment supplier that the installation instructions
of the Installation and Operation Manual have been complied with and that the defect remains.
8. Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor, or an authorised service representative, and any attempt to remedy the defect by
anyone else shall render this warranty void.
9. No other warranty is given beyond those described above, implied or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose other than the purpose for which the equipment is intended, and any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its
employees and representatives.
10. There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives based on this Warranty
for injury to any person or persons, or damage to property, loss of income or profit, or any other incidental, consequential or resulting damage or
cost claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the equipment, including any possible failure or malfunction of the equipment or
damages arising from collision with other vessels or objects.
11. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
