• Карданний вал: Carefully align the propeller with the thruster's drive shaft. Ensure the keyway (if applicable) is correctly seated.
• Закріплення пропелера: Fasten the propeller securely using the retaining nut or bolt as specified in the main thruster manual. Apply thread-locking compound if recommended.
• Перевірка допуску: After installation, manually rotate the propeller to ensure it spins freely without contacting the thruster tunnel walls or any other components.

Інструкція з експлуатації

This propeller functions as the thrust-generating component of a VETUS bow thruster. Its operation is directly controlled by the main bow thruster unit. For detailed operating procedures, refer to the instruction manual provided with your complete VETUS bow thruster system.

• Активація системи: Ensure the main bow thruster system is powered on and ready for use.
• Керування напрямком: The propeller will rotate in the direction commanded by the thruster control lever or joystick, providing thrust to port or starboard.
• Тривалість використання: Avoid continuous operation for extended periods to prevent overheating of the thruster motor. Follow the duty cycle recommendations in your main thruster manual.
• Водні умови: Operate the thruster only when the propeller is fully submerged in water.

Технічне обслуговування

Regular maintenance of the propeller ensures optimal performance and longevity of your bow thruster system.

• Щорічна перевірка: At least once a year, or more frequently if used in harsh conditions, inspect the propeller for signs of wear, cracks, chips, or damage.
• Прибирання: Remove any marine growth, fishing lines, or debris that may have accumulated on the propeller blades or hub. Use a soft brush and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the plastic.
• Перевірка ущільнення вала: While inspecting the propeller, also check the condition of the thruster's shaft seal for any leaks or damage.
• Безпека кріплення: Verify that the propeller retaining nut/bolt is still tight and secure.
• Зимоутворення: If the vessel is to be stored in freezing temperatures, ensure the thruster tunnel is drained to prevent ice formation around the propeller.

Усунення несправностей

If you experience issues with your bow thruster's performance, consider the following common propeller-related problems:

• Зменшена тяга:
  • Обструкція: Check for marine growth, plastic bags, or other debris wrapped around the propeller blades.
  • Пошкодження: Inspect blades for chips, cracks, or bending that could reduce efficiency.
• Незвичайний шум або вібрація:
  • сміття: Similar to reduced thrust, foreign objects can cause imbalance and noise.
  • Loose Propeller: Ensure the propeller is securely fastened to the shaft.
  • Damaged Blades: Even minor damage can lead to imbalance and vibration.
• Propeller Not Rotating:
  • Severe Obstruction: A large object might be jamming the propeller.
  • Shaft Issue: Check the main thruster unit for issues with the drive shaft or motor.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, or if you suspect internal damage to the thruster unit, contact a qualified marine technician or VETUS authorized service center.
