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.
The remote control design reflects the vessel for orientation guidance. Be aware of the remote
control orientation during operation.

Control Panel Installation
! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
Find a suitable location for the control panel where it does not obstruct or is obstructed by other
devices. Install the control panel on a flat surface where it is easy to use.
1. Use the supplied cut-out template to mark the area to remove on your control dash.
2. Cut out the area per template for the control panel. (NB: If the front surface around your cut out
is jagged or chipped, use a sealant to assist the gasket.)
3. Place the gasket to the back face of the panel and plug cables into the connectors at the rear of
the control panel.
4. Insert the control panel in place and fasten screws.
5. Insert the control panels covering caps.

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 the purpose for which the equipment is
intended and under normal use and 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
purchase by the end user (for demonstration vessels, the dealer is deemed as end user).
3. This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specified warranty period.
4. 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.
5. 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 preapproval 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
