• Fit the control cable between the bow thruster and the control
panel through the vessel and connect the jack connections to-
gether.
If it is necessary to cut the intermediate cable and reconnect it
take care to ensure the correct colours are connected together.
N.B: The colours of the wire cores in the intermediate cable may
differ from the wire core colours as used on the bow thruster mo-
tor and on the control panel!
If there are two steering positions, the second control panel can
be connected to the first one.
If 2 separate switches are used instead of a VETUS console, con-
sult the diagram on page 110.

Test run
Never operate the bow or stern thruster without load!
Switch off the bow or stern thruster immediately if it no
longer provides thrust during operation!
If it is found during test running that the thrust direction does not
correspond with the direction switch on the control panel then the
blue (no. 1) and the white (no. 4) wires on the relay must be inter-
changed.
