4. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your tilt trim motor. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified marine technician.
Trin før installation:
- Bekræft kompatibilitet: Before beginning, confirm that the TRM0079 unit is the correct replacement for your specific marine engine and outdrive model. Compare the specifications and OEM part numbers provided in Section 3 with your existing unit.
- Saml værktøjer: Ensure you have all necessary tools, including wrenches, screwdrivers, hydraulic fluid, and a container for draining old fluid.
- Afbryd strømmen: Disconnect the boat's battery to prevent accidental electrical activation during installation.
- Secure Outdrive: Position and secure the outdrive to prevent movement during the removal and installation process.
Fjernelse af gammel enhed:
- Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring from the old tilt trim motor. Note the wiring configuration for reinstallation.
- Place a drain pan beneath the unit. Disconnect the hydraulic lines from the old pump. Allow all hydraulic fluid to drain completely.
- Remove the mounting bolts securing the old tilt trim motor assembly to the transom or mounting bracket.
- Carefully remove the old unit from the boat.
Installation af ny enhed:
- Montering: Position the new DB Electrical TRM0079 unit in the mounting location. Secure it using the appropriate mounting bolts. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Hydraulic Line Connections: The TRM0079 unit comes with various adapter fittings (silver and brass) and O-rings. It is critical to use the correct adapters and O-rings for a leak-free connection.
- The silver fittings are generally required.
- Select the brass fittings that match your original motor's hydraulic lines.
- Ensure the larger O-ring is placed on the male portion of the silver adapter.
- Ensure the smaller O-ring is placed on the male hose end that feeds into the brass adapter.
- Tighten all hydraulic connections firmly but do not overtighten.
- Elektriske forbindelser: Connect the electrical wiring to the new motor, matching the configuration noted during removal. Ensure all connections are clean, secure, and free from corrosion.
- Fill with Hydraulic Fluid: Fill the reservoir with the recommended hydraulic fluid. For Volvo Penta systems, 10-weight hydraulic oil is typically specified. Dexron ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is often a suitable alternative as it is also a 10-weight hydraulic oil. Do not overfill.
- Bleed the System: After filling, cycle the tilt and trim system up and down several times to bleed any air from the hydraulic lines. Monitor the fluid level and top off as needed.
- Tilslut strøm igen: Reconnect the boat's battery.
5. Betjening
The DB Electrical TRM0079 Tilt Trim Motor operates by controlling the angle of your boat's outdrive. This allows for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and shallow water operation.
- Use the designated tilt/trim switch on your boat's control panel to raise or lower the outdrive.
- Trimning: Adjusting the outdrive angle while underway to optimize boat performance and ride quality.
- Vipning: Raising the outdrive completely out of the water for trailering, shallow water navigation, or maintenance.
- Avoid operating the trim system continuously for extended periods to prevent overheating.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your tilt trim motor.
- Kontrol af væskeniveau: Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir. Top off with the recommended 10-weight hydraulic oil (e.g., Dexron ATF) if necessary.
- Undersøg for utætheder: Regularly inspect all hydraulic lines and connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately to prevent system failure.
- Elektriske forbindelser: Check electrical connections for corrosion, looseness, or damage. Clean and tighten as needed.
- Generel rengøring: Keep the exterior of the motor and reservoir clean from dirt, salt, and debris.
