Read this instructions very carefully !

For a long and trouble free life time of your unit it is essential that the instructions given in this manual
are followed up and the maintenance instructions take care of.

Use when replacing and repair only genuine ZF parts, because parts that have been supplied by
another manufacturer can not be relied upon for correct material, dimensions or finish.

For owners wishing to carry out their own maintenance and service it is very important to follow up
instructions as given in this manual.

If any doubt, ask ZF manufacturer.

1.3 Ordering spare parts

Use only genuine parts for repair on your ZF propulsion unit.

When ordering spare parts one must specify the following to us :

1. Serial number and type : Find at the typeplate

2.6 Paint Instructions (P0181)


2.1 Installation of lubrication

Before the ship is launched the ZF must be filled with lubrication oil to prevent water penetrating the
gearbox.

1. Filling the thrusters with oil:

Minimum of 24 hours before the launching of the vessel (out of dry dock), fill the thruster unit with
lubr.oil Æ see attached “recommended and allowed lubricants”P0166 in chapter 4 and look at system
for the type and dimension code. Do not fill the thruster a long time before, without the connection of
the headertank, it will create excessive pressure on the propeller shaft seal. When thruster is kept for
a long time in stock please fill the thruster together with the headertank, rotate the propeller monthly,
refill the thruster with new oil before installation.
Filling from thruster may be done through the filling line. See chapter 5. Filling may take some time
because the lub. oil runs through relatively narrow openings in the thruster.
Place the lubrication tank when the tank is part of supply at minimal 20% of the underwater height
above the highest water line, this for pressure compensation of the underwater seals. Fill tank
between minimum and maximum. Press the self closing valve on the lubrication tank for oil level
indication.

2.2 Connecting electrical wiring

Connect the electrical wiring according to cable wiring diagram from thruster junction box up the
Electronic Control Unit / box which will be installed in the thruster control room by yard. See for
electrical installation chapter 8.

2.3 Check points

a. Check levels of: cooling water system, lub. oil in thruster, lub. oil in engine and hydraulic system.

b. (when mounted hydraulic system) Open the ball valve in the suction line of the hydraulic system. Fill up
hydraulic pump through leakage line with specified oil, this to ensure the hydraulic pump is not running
dry during starting up.

c. (when mounted hydraulic system) Switch on the electrical power by means of the main circuit breaker in
the engine room and with the keys in the wheelhouse panel.

d. Check all electrical functions (as far as possible) without running the engine.

e. Double-check bolts, nuts and electric components.

f. Make sure the control lever for speed control is in idle and clutch is in disengaged position .

Attention

- Use clean oils and proper filters when filling the systems, dirt in the oil can cause serious damage to all
moving parts.
- Do never start the engine when there is no oil in the hydraulic system or gearbox, this to avoid damage to
the engine driven hydraulic pump and bearings.

UNIT IS NOW READY TO BE STARTED UP!


2.4 Operation instructions

All functions of the propulsion unit are controllable from the wheel-house.
Some important points to follow-up by master and technical personal.

1. Never start the engine from wheel-house during maintenance or repair.

2. Check oil levels, etc. daily before putting units into operation.

3. Do not engage or disengage clutch when engine is running more than 900 rpm.

4. Check when putting into service and after any maintenance or repair work the correct position and sense of
rotation.

2.5 Thrust Performance of tunnel thrusters (P0125)
Procedure Sheet
Edition March 2011
Thrust performance of tunnel thruster

Installation
P 0125

Thrust performance of Tunnel thruster

The performance of a tunnel thruster propeller is subject to several factors. As an advice to a shipyard
placing a tunnel thruster into a ship, ZF Marine has listed down the following in order to increase the
effective thrust at the output side of a tunnel thruster.

1. Radius tunnel edges


In many cases a radius is made here, but a conical form
may be a satisfactory too. This solution is simple to
produce and therefore inexpensive. On the inlet side,
favourable inflow conditions are created. On the outlet side
a make and break point for the water flow is provided
which is necessary for reducing losses in the outlet stream.
Outlet indentations behind the tunnel do have a significant
effect.

2. Minimum length of the pipe


In order for the water to calm down somewhat after its
turbulent inflow, the distance between the propeller and
the inlet/outlet edge should be at least L/2=1*D (D=
propeller diameter). Longer tunnel length like L/2=1.5*D up
to 2*D will give a higher performance.

For tunnel length above L=6*D, loss due to friction in the


pipe will increase significantly.

3. The cut at the pipe end


Installation between two-paralleled hull sides is optimal. Any
inclination of the hull sides will increase the loss of thrust.
Therefore, one should try to locate the tunnel thruster in an
area where the angles between the outer hull and the water
line are small.
Hence the location in bulbous bows is suitable.

4. Minimum distance form the ship’s bottom


If the distance between the lower edge of the pipe and the
lowest edge of the keel is too small, circular currents below
the ships bottom will result in thrust losses, especially when
the pipe is short.

K = greater than or equal to 0.25*D, for long pipe where L >


3D.
K = greater than or equal to 0.5*D, for short pipes where L
< 3D.

5. The correct protective grid


For different reasons, protective grids are fitted to reduce the ship drag resistance because of the
transfer pipes. Travel in ice also requires protective grids. Not too many grid bars shall be used.
As a standard, for installations up to a tunnel diameter of 1,5 m, 4 vertical bars, for larger diameters
5 up to 7 vertical bars which are connected with 3 or 4 horizontal bars. In case of ice class additional
requirements may have to be taken into account.

AE,WS,PS Checked JWvS 11-03-18

Procedure Sheet
Edition March 2011
Thrust performance of tunnel thruster

Installation
P 0125

Five grid bars will reduce the thrust of the installation by approx. 9%, seven bars by approx. 10%. At
the same time the installation requires more power. The protective grid shall have no large “cover”.
Cover in these terms signifies the ratio between the area of the bars and the tunnel opening.
Grid area must be less than 15% of tunnel area, preferably less than 10 %.

Elliptical bars have the most favourable profile, but protective grids made from flat iron bars are
simpler and cheaper to produce. For flat bars it is important to make sharp edges to reduce the
resistance. The “cover” is the same with elliptical bars.

Please find attached a proposal drawing “Grid construction”.

6. Correct installation of the protective grid


The protective grid should be mounted behind the inlet/outlet cone and not in front of it.

7. The correct inclination of grid bars


Flat iron bars are closer to the favourable elliptical profile. The bars should be laid out in a way that
places them at right angles to the direction of the water flow passes the bow. If results from model
tests are available, the vertical bars should be perpendicular to the direction of the current. If no
model tests are available, the vertical bars should be mounted at approximately 15º from the
vertical. The angle between the vertical and horizontal bars must be 90 deg.

8. Minimum submersion of the tunnel thruster


If the inlet opening is too close to the surface, the risk of air suction arises. Therefore the upper edge
of the transverse pipe must be at least 0.4*D below the waterline.

9. The propeller on centerline


The propeller of the tunnel thruster should always be installed on ships centerline, especially in
short pipes. The longer the pipe, the smaller the influence is if the propeller is not installed at the
centerline. The consequence of a location off centerline is uneven delivered thrust for both
directions and additional noise and vibration.

10. Pressure compensation channel


When the ship travels slowly, the effect of the tunnel thruster is sharply reduced because of suction
area created on the hull behind the area.
The installation of a pressure compensation pipe decreases these suction areas and allows
effective use of the bow thruster up to 4 to 6 knots forward speed.

Edition February 2007
Safety and transport
P 0168
4. Do not lift the ZF unit by the propeller nozzle.
5. While lifting ensure that smaller delicate components (gauges, thermometers, filters etc.) do not get
entangled in the lifting wires and consequently damaged.
6. Do not use lifting straps in the vicinity of the steering seal or any other sealing surface for that matter.
7. When the ZF thruster is lifted with the oil still in the housing, make sure that no oil can leak through vent
pipes or open mounting holes
8. All possible safety precautions must be taken to ensure that oil cannot pollute the environment.

3. Storage:
The ZF unit has been delivered with preservation treatment sufficient for transport and 6-month storage.
During spin testing of the unit in our workshop conservation oil is used that is 100% compatible with other oils.
This conservation oil leaves a film of oil on the internal parts and prevents corrosion, for a period no longer than 6
months in a dry climate.
All external metal parts have been treated with an anti corrosion grease.

When the ZF unit is put out of operation for a period of time it must always be filled completely with oil. In case of
prolonged storage of the ZF unit it may be necessary to close the vent valve.
In environments with large temperature fluctuations drain a few liters of oil from the unit and keep the vent pipe
open to allow for expansion of the oil.
The electrical components of your ZF unit installation must always be stored in a clean and dry environment.

4. Personnel safety precautions


Working in the vicinity of a ZF Marine Krimpen bv installation requires personal protection such as:

Eye protection Ear protection Gloves Safety boots


Other items that are compulsory in workshops or engine rooms spaces.

Protective clothing

All rotating parts must be well protected by covers to prevent personal injuries

Covers that protect rubber elements and couplings must be made of a rigid frame covered with tough metal mesh
to allow for sufficient airflow to the element or coupling.

DO NOT TOUCH ROTATING PARTS SUCH AS SHAFTS ETC.


Please Note:
Cardan shafts should have ample sized strong protection covers. This cover should be strong enough to
withstand the forces and restrain the cardan shaft should it break or shear.

Warning
Keep the engine room and Thruster compartments closed for non-technical personnel, to avoid damage or
accidents caused by actions due to insufficient knowledge of the equipment.

5. Maintenance
Please Note:
During maintenance works the thruster installation must be put out of operation and no remote control may be

Dismantling of parts is to be done by qualified personnel. Reassembly should be done by the same persons.
Please Note:
Always mark the mounting position of the parts and write down all necessary notes important for reassembling.
Always wear eye protection when cleaning parts by means of compressed air.
If an accident happens always consult a doctor.
Maintenance and repair of the electrical system may only be done when the power supply is switched off and
locked in this position.

Warning
Do not touch or remove hot parts during or quickly after operation, do not tighten or slacken pipes and hoses
under pressure.

Never short circuit a battery, an explosion may occur. The fluid level of batteries must be checked weekly. No
smoking or fire near batteries. Batteries must be well ventilated at all times.

The fixing screws must be well tightened with the right torque and secured against self-loosening.

6. Repair
In case of malfunctioning of the ZF the cause must be established immediately.
If the source cannot be discovered or repaired, Please seek advice from specialized personnel.
Spare parts and fittings not supplied by ZF Marine Krimpen bv or its agency should not be used on ZF Marine
units.
These parts are not approved by us and may have a negative influence on the reliability of our product.
The use of non-original spare parts voids the guarantee of the ZF Marine Krimpen bv installation.

7. Maneuvering
The ZF unit is a sophisticated piece of equipment.
The thruster can be rotated over 360° under full thrust conditions and thus gives the vessel great maneuverability.
In cases of emergency the ZF Marine Krimpen bv can be rotated over 180° at all times to reduce the ship's speed.
With two units installed the units can be turned under full speed as follows:
- Starboard unit counter clockwise
- Portside unit clock wise

Warning
Extremely difficult maneuvers can easily be done with the ZF unit. Always reduce the revolutions of the propellers
so that maneuvering takes place at a safe speed.

Warning
Navigating with ZF units should only be done by qualified personnel.
Mistakes in navigation due to lack of knowledge of this system is the responsibility of the operator and not the
manufacturer of the propulsion system.

Risks
Getting crushed by a moving or falling load, getting pinched when attaching load

Attaching load
Inspect lifting accessories (shackles, slings, chains, hooks, eyebolts, etc.) before use. Use
only lifting accessories suitable for your specific job. Make sure that lifting accessories cannot
be damaged by sharp edges. Store lifting accessories in a dry place when not in use. Do not
use lifting accessories not bearing the CE mark. Make sure that the safe working load SWL
of both lifting equipment and lifting accessories is observed.

Pay attention to the weight and the center of gravity of a load.

Where possible, remove packaging material in order to prevent sliding of the load.

Slings, chains and shackles must be able to move freely in their hook. No pinching is
allowed. The tip of a hook is not to be under any load.

Service

1. Introduction
For a long lifetime of your ZF Marine propulsion unit, keep the following instructions in mind:
 Follow instructions as given in the manuals.
 Keep the equipment clean, so that oil leakage or other faults can be discovered quickly.
 Use correct oils and clean funnels when filling.
 Check oil condition and level every day.
 Grease all blank parts to prevent corrosion.
 Use genuine parts for repair.
 Specific systems and parts may have their own manuals or chapters in the manual.

Important
Suddenly vibrations in the thruster drive together with loss of thrust may be the result of a damaged
propeller, gears, shafts, bearings, couplings etc. STOP the thruster must be done immediately and repair
should be carried out.

2. Main procedures
In this chapter some procedures are mentioned to get quickly some basic knowledge and find some
important procedures about the thruster system.

2.1 Hoisting P0502


In this procedure you can find some basics about hoisting.

2.2 Storage P0211


In this procedure you can find all the information about storage of the unit or loose gearboxes.

2.3 Lubricant equivalents list P0166


In this procedure you can find all the different type of oils and greases that are approved to use in the
thruster system.

2.4 Lubrication oil fill/change P0205


Some points out of P0205 are mentioned below. For a detailed description see P0205.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 Oils, detergents, preservatives and acids must be collected and disposed of in a non-
polluting manner and in compliance with the relevant laws governing water pollution control.
After changing of the oil make sure that the waste oil is disposed of in a non-polluting
manner and the used oilcans and the oil itself is not spilled, we as manufacturers cannot be
held responsible for environmental claims what so ever;
 Always refill the thruster unit immediately after the oil is taken out. This to prevent the
gearboxes from condense water or from seawater penetrating the drives through seals.
The filling can be done through the header tank when a header tank is applied, otherwise
through the cover plate of the upper gearbox.

In this procedures is mentioned how to change the oil while the vessel is still in the water or in dry-dock.

Attention lubrication oil change:


 If the oil has a white/yellowish colour, water has entered the thruster. This could be caused by a
worn propeller shaft seal or damaged o-rings in the flange connections. After repair, the system
must be flushed with oil or kerosene in order to remove all water from the system.
 It is advisable to use a new bonded seal when fitting the plug.
 For a header tank up to 40 liters of oil content fill the header tank up to 1/2 of the level glass.

During dismounting the propeller it can happen that the
propeller don’t want to move, than the following can be done:
• Using not the stainless steel bolts but normal steel
bolts with 10.9 class. These bolts can have a higher
tightening moment, see P0072 table 1.
• Use a plastic hammer to hit the propeller cone, locking
plates, propeller blades (only near the cone).
• If the propeller still doesn’t want to move, then heating
up of the propeller cone is allowed up to maximum
100°C.

Do not over tightening the bolts in any case this can result in
damaging the bolt and thread.

IMPORTANT:
For dismounting it is not allowed to use chains, hydraulic jacks
etc. between propeller and housing or between propeller and
nozzle.

2 Workflow for mounting existing or new propeller

Often when a propeller will be dismounted the propeller shaft seals will be replaced. For propeller shaft seal
(re)placement see P0118. For leakages test of propeller fitting system see P0113.

1. Make sure that the propeller shaft cone, cone propeller and locking plate are clean and have no
burrs, scratches or sharp edges!
2. Ensure that ‘Propeller’ and ‘Propeller shaft’ have the same temperature when they will be fitted.
Check with Thermometer.
3. Before mounting propeller do a propeller cone check according P0182. If the contact area is not
sufficient the propeller cone must be repaired.
4. Check free running of ‘Propeller’ constantly during fitting!
5. Place the propeller on the propeller shaft. Place the locking plate with bolts and tightening the bolts
on 50% of the tightening torque mentioned in table 1 below, see also P0072 table 3.

6. Measure the gap “x” between propeller cone and seal cover, the distance should be minimum
2.5mm. When distance “x” is not enough machine the propeller to ensure that “x” is minimum
2.5mm.
7. Check the distance “y” between the propeller shaft and the collar on the locking plate. The distance
must have a minimum value of 2mm.

10. It is advisable to use standard steel bolts class 8.8 or 10.9 for
pushing up the propeller. These bolts can have higher
mounting torques than the stainless steel bolts. In all cases do not over tightening the bolts.
11. When the push up is finished replace the steel bolts by the stainless steel bolts.
12. If the locking plate is fitted with a plug perform a leakage test according P0113.
13. Lock ‘Bolts’ by welding ‘Stainless-steel-wire’ or ‘Stainless-steel-disk’ to bolt heads (Pos.189). Make
sure that ground connection for welding is at one of the bolt heads (preferred) or at a propeller
blade.

Scope
This procedure describes the workflow of the (re)placement of propeller shaft seals.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Oils, detergents, preservatives and acids must be collected and disposed of in a non
polluting manner and in compliance with the relevant laws governing water pollution control.
After changing of the oil make sure that the waste oil is disposed of in a non-polluting
manner and the used oilcans and the oil itself is not spilled, we as manufacturers cannot be
held responsible for environmental claims whatsoever;

- Always refill the thruster immediately after propeller shaft seal replacement. This to prevent
the gearboxes from condense water or from seawater penetrating the inside of the thruster;

- When the ‘Seal cover plate’ is loosen after running of the ‘Lips seals’, the ‘Lip seals’ are not
allowed to use again. Replace the ‘Lip seals’!

11. Replace the ‘Seal cover plate’ with the ‘Bolts’. In the first step, pre-tension the ‘Lip seals’ to tighten the
‘Bolts’, so that the remaining space between the ‘Lip seals’ is removed. To achieve a proper
clamping force on the ‘Lip seals’ with a cotton inlay, the length ‘X’ as shown below, between the
‘Seal cover plate’ and the ‘Seal cover’, must be taken according the distance in table below.

The compression is absolute necessary to prevent that the seals shrink. Sealing around the outer
diameter of the seals is also achieved in this way. Before pressing the ‘Lip seals’, use liquid sealant
between ‘Seal cover plate’ and ‘Seal cover’. Use Loctite 2701 to secure the ‘Bolts’;

WHEN THE ‘SEAL COVER PLATE’ IS LOOSEN AFTER RUNNING OF THE ‘LIP SEALS’, THE
‘LIP SEALS’ ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE AGAIN. REPLACE THE ‘LIP SEALS’!

12. Grease the ‘O-ring(s)’ (Pos.27) with acid free Vaseline and place them in the ‘Liner’ (ZF 1000: not
applicable);

13. Oil the outside of the ‘Liner’ with Shell Omala 150 or equivalent;

14. Slide the ‘Liner’ carefully on the ‘Propeller shaft’. Prevent damage of the ‘Lip seals’ by pushing the
‘Liner’ through the ’Lip seals’;

This procedure describes the maximum mounting torques for several bolted connections in different
conditions. Connections must be carried out with method of controlled applied torque (e.g. torque
wrench).

Treated surfaces of bolts


Roughness of the threaded surface of the bolt has been taken into account for determining the
maximum mounting torques. The friction coefficients are:
0,10 Bolt surface heavy oiled or with Loctite 243;
0,12 Bolt surface light oiled or with Loctite 2701 (270 old version).
