Section 2: SYSTEM OPERATION
2.5
Boat Transit Without Stabilization and Speed Adjustment
When cruising without gyro stabilization, run the gyro at 1000 rpm to maintain
lubrication of the bearings. This ensures that the lubricant is not pushed out of
the ball/raceway load zone over an extended period of time due to the
accelerations associated with boat motion. If taken to an extreme, this can
lead to a condition known as “false brinelling” which reduces bearing life. The
Gyro will use less than 300 watts of AC power while operating in this mode.
Damage to the bearings and/or gyro due to non-conformance with this
operational procedure may not be covered by warranty.
