Section 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
There is a large torque about the gimbal axis when the Seakeeper is
precessing. Seakeeper cover panels are provided to prevent personnel or
equipment from contacting the Seakeeper while it is in operation. These
covers should not be stood on or have anything placed on top. The covers
should always be in place during operation. If it is ever necessary to touch
the Seakeeper while the flywheel is spinning, the Seakeeper must be
locked at the display to stop the Seakeeper from precessing. Seakeeper
maintenance should not be attempted unless the Seakeeper is locked and
the flywheel has stopped spinning
.
