1 1 2 2 4 3 5 6 Typical component layout in the boat 1 The actuators and fins are normally fit in the aft end of the liv- ing area, usually the owners state- room or bathroom & wardrobe. The actuators are quiet so it is no problem to have in living space beneath the floor or furniture. The fins wich is attached to each actua- tor are working outside of the hull. 2 The proportional valves (one for each actuator) are placed outside of living space, in sound proofed area. 3 The electrohydraulic powerpack with tank, filtration and cooling is normally placed in the engine room. 4 The controller / driver for the power- pack is located relatively close to the powerpack. Thereby, often fitted above the powerpack/tank on a wall. This contains a high voltage VFD so it should be placed to ensure to be dry at all times. 5 The DC 24V electric or hydraulic cooling water pump, if fitted, is typically installed in an easily accesible and identified position (because it often needs venting after the boat has been on land) well below the waterline - close to the powerpack. 6 The main ECU with sensors is placed on a bulkhead, central in the boat. (In most cases) 7 The Control Panel is placed on the dashboard(s) of the yacht 7

Information Thank you for selecting a Side-Power Stabilizer System. We hope your Stabilizer System will meet your expectations and increase your comfort level on board. Important! This guide is intended as a quick guide for the operator of the vessel. More detailed instruc- tions including drawings, schematics and diagrams are available in the installation instructions and service manual. Sleipner Motor AS is not responsible for injury or damage as a result of the use of the Stabilizer system. Before activating the stabilizer system, ensure that: (It is recommended that following notes are included in the boats main checklist) •� Always ensure that there are no leakages, hydraulic oil level is correct and cooling pump is running. Always check/monitor system temperature and pressure from the panel when system is running. •� There are no risk of the fins hitting anything, the dock, dock mooring lines or any other submerged objects close to the boat when they start moving. •� There are no people in the water swimming or bathing around the boat. •� You either have one or both main engines running, or an alternative hydraulic power source (like the AC powerpack). Always keep the stabilizer system active when running the boat in planning or “fast” semi-planning mode - also when on calm water. •� The reason for this is to perform their stabilizing function to the required level, the fins are a large part of the boats directional and heel stability, especially at high speeds when the boats wet surfaces and direct hull forces are reduced. If you leave the fin stabilizer system off so the fins are left in a fixed position, this can make the boat behave differently then expected at high speeds. •� With the stabilizer system active, it will ensure that the boats behaviour is predictable and as comfortable as possible at all times, improving comfort also on calm water. •� If, due to a malfunction or other reason you are unable to run with the stabilizers active, we strongly recommend that you run at a maximum speed where the boat is not planning so that the boats own directional and heel stability is the dominant factor. Reverse the boat in minimal speed if the fins are not in LOCKED position. •� The fins should automatically center and lock if you put the boat in reverse, but if this should not happen for some reason (hydraulic failure, reverse sensor malfunction etc.) it is important that you only reverse the boat as slow as possible.

Goes back to «Setup» menu PANEL ALARMS / SYSTEM MONITORING The stabilizer system is equipped with several internal monitoring func- tions to ensure safe operation of the system. This includes monitoring of the various valves electric operation, hy- draulic pressure, level and temperatures as well as internal monitoring of the electronics. If an ALARM occurs, the system will automatically center and lock the fins and shut down operation so to ensure that it can not actively do anythying wrong. However, with some faults, for example hydraulic hose breakage/leaks, it might not be possible for the system to centre and lock the fins in which case you must proceed with special caution as described later. If you get an alarm - this shows up on your control panel. Press the “SHOW ALARMS” button, and this will take you to the alarms page which shows you what the system is alarming for. There, you can “ACKNOWLEDGE ALARM” and the system will then try to re-start. If the problem persist by the alarm re-appearing the issue needs to be checked and rectified before the system will work again - and you need to OPERATE THE BOAT WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION in case of some of these alarms. Please see the table on the next page for a quick reference to actions to be taken. If in doubt of the meaning or explanation - Please make sure to contact a Side-Power service representative to ensure safe operation of your boat and avoid further potential damage to your systems.

Alarms and System monitoring ALARM ALARM Reason Check/Action Boat handling see details below Fin centring error The system is unable to center one or both fins. Make sure you have hydraulic pressure. Go to the system status menu and check pressure, or read the pressure from the pressure gauge located on the accumulator valve unit. Depending on system specifications, pressure shall be between 70 and 100 bar. Pressure from 25-40 bar indicates that the electrical or manual accumulator dump valve is open. Pressure below 25 bar indicates a hydraulic system failure, LS signal failure or AC pump failure. All pressure readings to be done with stabilizers “ON” Pressure readings should be carried out first with main engines running, then with AC pump running (at anchor mode) If pressure is ok: Check cables and their connections between ECU and fin position sensor. L2 Fin x motion The system is unable to put the fin in the desired position, or there is a problem with the sensor. Make sure you have hydraulic pressure. Go to the system status menu and check pressure, or read the pressure from the pressure gauge located on the accumulator valve unit. Depending on system specifications, pressure shall be between 70 and 100 bar. Pressure from 25-40 bar indicates that the electrical or manual accumulator dump valve is open. Pressure below 25 bar indicates a hydraulic system failure, LS signal failure or AC pump failure. All pressure readings to be done with stabilizers “ON” Pressure readings should be carried out first with main engines running, then with AC pump running (at anchor mode) L2 Fin x position Encoder is reading invalid angle Check cables and their connections between ECU and fin position sensor. Check encoder belt and pulleys. L2 Hydraulic Oil level low The oil level in the hydraulic tank is below the accepted minimum level Check Oil level on visible gauge on the tank to see if it is a real low level alarm, or if it is a sensor fault. Oil level to be at the upper half of the level indicator upper window (with the stabilizers active). Refill if necessary with mineral based hydraulic oil ISO VG 46. Check for leaks. A signal failure (broken signal cable) will cause low level alarm. L4 Hydraulic Oil temp high The oil temperature is too high Check oil temperature from the system status menu. Alarm point=75˚C. Check that the cooling pump is running and water is flowing. Check seawater inlet strainer for contamination. Do not run the system except in case of emergency if oil temp. rise above�75˚C!� L3 VFD Not Ready VFD Not Ready Verify that VFD is in REMOTE mode. Check wiring.

BOAT HANDLING RESTRICTIONS L1 L2 L3 L4 Remember the general warning about high speed running without active stabilizers X X X X Do not reverse the boat in more than absolute minimal speed X X X Do not run forward in more than the minimum necessary steering speed X X X If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate any hydraulics - run main engines (if pumps are connected) at less load while giving the oil time to cool down. X If you are running out of oil in your tank - beware that the pumps will be destroyed if run dry and can then also cause other damage to the power source driving them. If you have to run engines with pumps directly fitted, disconnect mechanically the pump first so that it does not pump. If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate X If an alarm occurs so the stabilizer system is not running, but the fins are centred and locked, you can operate the boat normally, remembering the general warning about high speeds and inactive stabiliz- ers as well as ensuring safe engine running without damaging central hydraulic parts - last section in table below. If the fins are NOT centered and locked, please see table below for operational limita- tions of the boat. Alarms and System monitoring ALARM ALARM Reason Check/Action Boat handling see details below ECU temp high The stabilizer controller is getting too hot. Ventilate the room were ECU is sitting L1 Decouple valve x Current Sense The ECU is reading that there is either a fault with the electric activation of the mentioned valve or a cable or cable connection issue Do not run the system except in case of emergency�if�oil�temp.�rise�above�75˚C!� L2 Lock Valve xx Current Sense The ECU is reading that there is either a fault with the electric activation of the mentioned valve or a cable or cable connection issue Check control cables between the ECU and the related fin control valve. L2 Servo Valve xx Current Sense The ECU is reading that there is either a fault with the electric activation of the mentioned valve or a cable or cable connection issue Check control cables between the ECU and the related fin control valve. L2 Dump Valve Current Sense The ECU is reading that there is either a fault with the electric activation of the mentioned valve or a cable or cable connection issue Check control cables between the ECU and the accumulator valve block. When shutting down the boat you will need to manually release pressure in the accumulator tank L1 GPS Signal Missing The ECU has lost the GPS input signal after a valid signal was present. Reset the alarm and see if the signal have returned. Rare loss of GPS coverage might occur. If the alarm is triggered more than once, check the cables and connectors between the ECU and the GPS antenna. L2 PHC Communication Error The ECU have lost contact with the PHC hy- draulic controller. The controller is fitted to the hydraulic tank assembly. It communicates with the ECU using S-link. Check that the green LED on the PHC controller is lit. Check S-link cables and con- nections. L2 SHD Communication Error The ECU have lost contact with the SHD power pack controller. The controller is fitted to the hydraulic tank assembly or in a separate enclosure. It communicates with the ECU using S-link. Check that the green LED on the SHD control board is lit. Check S-link cables and connections. L2 NMEA2000 Gear Status Unavailable Stabilizer system can not read NMEA 2000 data from engine controls. Check GW-1 connections and wires. Inspect LED indications on GW-1. L1 Hydraulic Pressure High Faulty or shorted Stabilizer pressure sensor. Check wiring for shorts or replace sensor. L1

Service and Maintenance SERVICE FIN ACTUATOR UNITS The stabilizer system is in general a low maintenance product, but as all moving parts some degree of preventive maintenance will increase the lifetime and reliability of the system. A chart for recommended check and service points is thereby offered at the end of this section. For all new installations, or after a major parts change, a basic check should be done after the first 100 hours of operation or after the first week of proper use: •� Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight. •� Check all hoses for chaffing, and ensure they are not in contact with any moving parts. •� Inspect hydraulic cylinder rods and gland seals for damage, leaking, or scratches. •� Inspect the dirt indicator on the return oil filter. •� “Shake” the fins from the outside to feel if there is any play in any connection. •� Open the fins manual decouple valve (at the acuator point ot allow movement) and manually move the fin fully to both sides to feel that there is not specific tough spot in the bearings. Every time the boat is out of the water for service or other reason, we recommend that you take this opportunity to more thorougly check some points that is not possible when the boat is in the water. A proper cleaning and check of the fins anodes (if fitted, can also be bonded to boats large anode system) is also appropriate during a haul out. •� Axial and radial play in the shaft can also be checked at this time; see the table below that details play allowances. A dial indicator is recommended for this procedure. o Radial play should be checked with the indicator/micrometer positioned just below the seal housing between the top of the fin and the underside of the hull. o Axial play should be checked by measuring the relative distance between the top of the axle shaft and hull plate. By using a crow bar on the twin yoke, moving and feeling the tighteness of the bearings inside the boat while measur ing from a fixed point with a micrometer. NOTE! Because of the big variation in different vessels actual use and operation, system specifications and maintenance, it is not possible to accurately predict the anticipated service life of the main shaft bearings. Thereby, Sleipner recommends that the bearing clearances be checked periodically when possible so to avoid extra halout between normal service need. The service timing indicated in the chart is based calculations and experience, but please note that because of the variations in use and load, both due to different operation and for example different fin sizes allowed on the same actuator size, the life of bearings and seals can be both longer and shorter than indicated by the maintenance chart. FINS It is recommended that a thorough inspection of the fins be performed when the vessel is lifted out of water for maintenance. Dam- ages on the fin surface must be repaired with vinylester/epoxy done by professionals HYDRAULICS The pressure filters require periodic element changes as per the maintenance schedule. The valves and manifolds are to be inspected regularly for external damage. To avoid corrosion and deterioration, a water inhibitor such as WD-40 or similar should be applied to the valves and fittings immediately after wash-down of the equipment. *Filter replacement: We recommend to replace pressure and return line filter elements after the initial start up and test period, and latest at 50 operating hours. Thereafter every 2000 operating hours or every 2nd year. Shaft Radial Play (mm) Shaft Axial Play (mm) Maximum Maximum SPS 65/66 0.10 0.20 SPS 55/90/91/92/93 0.15 0.30

Service and Maintenance SERVICE Both pressure filter and return filter have pressure drop indicators. Check indicators every 6th month. The check have to be done with�oil�temperature�above�40˚C,�and�the�most�flow�demanding�consumer�active.�Filter�element�replacement�are�required�if�indica- tors are in the red area. Hydraulic oil replacement: Every 4000 operating hours or every 3rd year. For heavy duty applications and commercial use, we recommend oil sample analyses every year. ***Check oil color every 6th month. White or grey oil indicates water ingress or heavy condensation. This will require filter replace- ment, oil replacement and flushing of the system. See schedule and Hydraulic system manual. CONTROL SYSTEM With the exception of keeping the electrical parts and wiring clean, dry and damage-free, no maintenance is required for these parts. In general, all electrical equipment should be periodically checked to ensure that there are no mechanical damage or water build-up. POWER UNIT The power unit and its associated components require maintenance and have a lifetime so will in the future require replacement which can be done preventively as indicated within the charts here, to avoid potential follow damage to other parts. The hydraulic oil integrity must be checked as per the schedule by extracting a sample from the system for analyzis to ensure it is with- ing the standards of its spesifications. The hydraulic power unit motor should not stay unused for longer periods, and either manually rotated every 3 months or started to ensure proper lubrication of the shafts and bearings on its shaft and bearings. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The maintenance schedules in this section indicate the recommended preventative maintenance intervals for equipment supplied by Side-Power. Components utilized in Side-Power Stabilizer Systems but not supplied by Side-Power are not included in the maintenance schedule or under any Side-Power warranty. The maintenance intervals are listed in hours of operation and time where relevant. Maintenance is to be performed according to this schedule utilizing time or hour intervals, whichever comes first. . The maintenance schedule incorporates the minimum required main- tenance to ensure correct operation of the system. Should these guidelines not be followed, the warranty for those items will be void. To perform maintenance, replacement parts may need to be purchased. Refer to the recommended spares list and/or drawings for associated part numbers.  Contact a Authorized Side-Power technician. * If analysis of the scheduled oil sample indicates an elevated level of brass particles in the hydraulic system, the pumps should be replaced or overhauled as soon as possible. Delay in component removal and system flushing will lead to contamination problems throughout the hydraulic system. Erratic component operation may be a symptom of hydraulic fluid contamination. *** 2000 operating hours or annually, whichever occurs first. **** Fins should be inspected annually by diver if possible The data in the table below is provided to assist the vessel in scheduling the appropriate service staff and coordination of vessel docking (haul out) for maintenance procedures.
