e) The thrust plate should not protrude from the mounting base, since it absorbs the
horizontal stresses when thrusting or manoeuvring. If protruding, adjust the down
position detector as described above.
f) When finished with the final adjustments, fix the alloy plate bracket by bolting through
the GRP turbine in addition to the cable clamps.
IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that the power supply to up/down motors is not
automatically interrupted if the proximity switches do not detect the position detectors. Care
must therefore be taken to remove ones finger from up or down button as soon as the unit
blocks in fully up or fully down position when closing plate adjustments are done and if
position detectors are not adjusted yet.

Installation Advice: In order to make sure that VIP is
raising and lowering smoothly and when closing plate
adjustments are made, one can do the following:
a) Connect 12V/24V directly to the two up/down
motors (depending on up / down motor voltage)
and simply reverse the polarity to change
direction (raise/lower).
Note. The Drive Screws rotate in opposite
directions, therefore the motors must turn in
opposite directions. If a supply is going to be
directly fed to the up / down motors for ease of
installation, then the positive of one motor
should be connected to the negative of the other
motor and vice versa.
It is important to install a 10A fuse in the
positive cable and to keep in mind that wires
need to be disconnected as soon as the up or
down position is reached or as soon as the unit
blocks, to avoid damaging the up/down motors.
If the unit blocks before reaching the up/down position or if the unit
vibrates excessively when going up/down one needs to adjust the two
adjustment nuts to ensure the unit is completely vertical to its base.
