3. Nastavení a instalace
The Lewmar TT 185 Gen 2 thruster is designed for straightforward installation. It features a system that eliminates the need for a separate reservoir, reducing potential leak points and simplifying maintenance.
3.1 Kontroly před instalací
- Verify that the vessel's power supply is 12V DC and can deliver the required current for a 4.0kW thruster.
- Ensure the chosen mounting location in the bow provides sufficient space for the thruster unit and allows for proper tunnel installation.
- Confirm that all components listed in the packaging are present.
3.2 Mounting the Thruster
- Install the thruster tunnel according to the vessel's specific requirements and marine engineering best practices.
- Secure the thruster motor and gear leg assembly to the tunnel using appropriate fasteners and sealing compounds to ensure a watertight fit.
- Connect the electrical cables to the motor terminals, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for detailed instructions.
Note: Professional installation is highly recommended for marine thruster systems to ensure safety and optimal performance.
4. Návod k obsluze
The Lewmar TT 185 thruster provides powerful and responsive thrust for precise vessel control.
4.1 Základní obsluha
- Ujistěte se, že je hlavní napájení plavidla zapnuté a jistič propeleru je sepnutý.
- Activate the thruster control panel (joystick or push-button, sold separately).
- Apply thrust in the desired direction. The high-performance 5-blade propeller is designed to give equal thrust in both directions, providing consistent control.
- Release the control to stop thrust.
4.2 Provozní směrnice
- Use short bursts of thrust rather than continuous operation to prevent overheating and conserve battery power.
- Neprovozujte vrtuli v mělké vodě nebo v oblastech s nečistotami, které by mohly znečistit vrtuli.
- Always be aware of your surroundings and other vessels when maneuvering.
5. Údržba
The Lewmar TT 185 Gen 2 thruster is designed for minimal maintenance, featuring a sealed system with no reservoir to install, which also means no leaks and reduced maintenance requirements.
5.1 Pravidelné kontroly
- Kontrola vrtule: Periodically inspect the 5-blade propeller for any damage, fouling (e.g., marine growth, fishing line), or obstructions. The spline-driven propeller design eliminates the need for a drive pin, simplifying inspection.
- Integrita těsnění: Check the high integrity seal for any signs of leakage or wear. While designed for durability, regular visual inspection is recommended.
- Elektrické připojení: Ensure all electrical connections are clean, tight, and free from corrosion. Apply a suitable marine-grade dielectric grease to terminals if necessary.
- Pouzdro motoru: Keep the motor housing clean and free from excessive dirt or salt residue.
5.2 Zazimování
For vessels stored in freezing conditions, ensure the thruster tunnel is drained and free of water to prevent ice damage.
