Install New Thrusters
To Install the new thrusters, you will need the following parts and tools:
1 x T200 with counter-clockwise propeller
1 x T200 with clockwise propeller
1 x Bag with 8 M3x12 screws
8 x M3x12 screws you had set aside from removing Thrusters 5 and 6
1 x Silicone Grease – 10g Tube
1 x Threadlocker
1 x Penetrator wrench
1 x 2.5 mm hex driver
1. Install Thrusters 7 and 8 into the respective empty penetrator holes. Tighten to nger tight, then use the provided
wrench to tighten them an additional ~1/16 of a turn. If you can’t loosen them with your ngers, they are tight
enough.

2. Reinstall the 4” Aluminum End Cap with the following steps:
Clean the O-ring and make sure that it is free of any debris or damage.
Clean the O-Ring Flange (4” Series) and make sure that the O-ring groove is free of any debris or damage.
Apply Silicone grease to the O-ring.
Install face seal O-ring onto the O-Ring Flange (4” Series).
Apply one drop of threadlocker to each of the M3x12 screws. Roll the screws around on a paper towel to evenly spread
the threadlocker and to remove excess threadlocker.
Install Aluminum End Cap with 14 Holes with all Cable Penetrators and Blank Penetrators installed onto the O-Ring
Flange (4” Series). Do not fully tighten any screws when rst installing them; it may cause the O-ring to slip out of its
groove. The end cap’s orientation when installed should match the image below. Make sure that the clips are oriented
correctly. One should be just right of the Thruster 3 penetrator, and the other should be just left of the Thruster 4
penetrator.
3. Install thrusters 5, 6, 7 and 8, using the M3x12 screws on the outside of the side panels. Tighten the screws so that
they indent the frame slightly.
DO NOT use threadlocker unless you have threadlocker rated for use with polycarbonate.
