3.4 CHECKS ON THE LOWER GEARING
If the ship is hauled up or the SRP swung out or removed, the
following checks should be carried out:
- Check all gaskets on and above the lower gearing (Figures
1/14 and 1/16) for oil leaks, have repaired, if required.
- Check propeller for damage. Since there is the risk that
the teeth of the gears may break if there is severe damage
to the propeller, the gears must be checked.
- The space between propeller hub and lower gearing must be
free from foreign matter. If present, dismount the propeller
remove foreign matter, and check the seals.
- Check the mounting screws of the lower gearing and cover
plate or nozzle for security of attachment, retighten, if
required. For torque loads, see page 13.
3.5 MEASURES TO BE TAKEN FOR TAKING AN SRP OUT-OF-OPERATION FOR UP
TO 6 MONTHS
If an SRP is taken out-of-operation or removed due to damages,
it must be filled with fresh oil during the storage, in order
to prevent corrosion damages. To do this, close the vent cock
on the oil tank.
Prior to transporting the SRP, drain the oil.
CAUTION:
The relevant laws on environmental protection must be
absolutely complied with.
SETTING THE COMPENSATING FIN
See Figures 4, 5 and 6
The fin (Figures 4/4, 5/1 or 6/4) is supplied in normal
position. If the lower section is found to steer easier to
one side, loosen clamping screws (Figures 4/3, 5/2 or 6/3) and
adjust the fin in such a way that the rear edge is adjusted
1 to 2 mm in the same direction in which the lower section runs
out.
Retighten the clamping screws.
Continue the compensating process until the SRP is balanced.
