- Page 4 INSTALLATION OF THE RETRACT UNIT CONSTRUCTION OF THE MOUNTING BASE MAX POWER can supply as an option, a G.R.P. laminated mounting base, or an aluminium machined mounting-flange. These options allow you to save considerable installation time, and assure precise installation.
- Page 5 The nylon washers avoid stainless steel contact with the aluminium case. The nuts should be type NYLOCK. The 2 lifting lugs provided by MAX POWER, should be put in a small plastic bag, along with the hydraulic pipe plugs, for storage and future use by the ships crew or owner.

Page 8: Oil Reservoir
Mounting the reservoir too low could result in oil draining back, or overflowing the tank. Be sure to allow enough space above the reservoir to service the filter. If MAX POWER does not supply the reservoir, then provide a return filter of 60 microns and a suction strainer. - Page 9 MAX POWER recommends the use of ISO GRADE 15 to 32 hydraulic oils for the power circuit. This mineral oil has already been used by Max Power during the run in tests and consequently the RETRACT motor and piping are already filled with this kind off oil.

EHP) are supplied with 24 volts from the control box. Switching the thruster system on is achieved by a two-pole 32-amp circuit breaker (not supplied by Max Power) which should normally be located on the main electrical panel. -
Page 11: After Launching
The transmission is already filled with oil at the time of delivery. → Max Power uses HYPIOD HD 80W/90 oil in the transmission, therefore, fill the transmission lube oil header tank with a similar grade oil. The function of this lubricant tank is to ensure a constant pressure, as well as a visual control of the oil-level. - Page 12 ADJUSTING THE DCV / SOFT START HYDRAULIC POWER The DCV vale blocks as supplied by Max power are equipped to start the thruster in a two stage (soft start sequence.) This is achieved by using bypass system that sends half of the thrusters hydraulic flow directly back to the tank during the first (slow speed) moments after start.
