Use
General
- The bow thruster can only be used if the main engine, which
drives the hydraulic pump, is in operation.
- The thrust of the bow thruster depends on:
- the number of revolutions of the main motor
- the number of pieces of hydraulic equipment switched
on (for instance simultaneous use of both bow thruster
and stern thruster)
3-position lever switch, or selector switch
- Switch the main switch on.
- Switch the panel on.
- The valve is operated by means of the lever switch.
- The lever will not stay in positions 'L' and 'R'. The lever will
always jump back to the middle position 'C'.

- Depending on the type of load-sensing-valve used, the bow
thruster must be operated using the appropriate control
panel:
- 1-step load-sensing-valve:
3-position lever switch: BPJ or BPJE, or
selector switch: BPS or BPSE
- 2-step load-sensing-valve:
5-position lever switch: BPJH5 or BPJSTH5
If 2 control panels are installed never operate the bow
thruster from both panels simultaneously.
5-position lever switch
- Switch the main switch on.
- Switch the panel on.
- The valve is operated by means of the lever switch.
- In positions '1L' and '1R' the bow thruster works at approxi-
mately half the thrust (depending on the load-sensing pres-
sure set).
In positions '2L' and '2R' the bow thruster works at full thrust.
The lever will not stay in positions '2L' and '2R'. The lever will
always jump back to position '1L' or '1R'.
