Preparation

The bow thruster will be delivered fully as-
sembled. Perform the following steps:
• Remove the propeller.
• Remove all of the screws from the cover
in order to lift out all the packaging from
the motor housing.
• Loosen the 3 bolts (A) in order to lift the
motor and its housing from the interme-
diate flange.
Although shown separately in the dia-
gram, it is not necessary to remove the
packing (B) from the bolts (A).
• Remove the intermediate flange from the
tail piece.
The 2 bushes are only required for trans-
port and are now no longer needed.
