Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.1 Precautions

Gyro flywheel is supported by precision bearings. Make certain while unpacking and lifting gyro
assembly to NOT drop or impart mechanical shock as damage to bearings could result.

While handling / installing gyro assembly, protect exposed hydraulic brake cylinder rods (See
Figure 1) from scratches or damage as this could lead to premature seal failure and oil leaks.

While handling / installing gyro assembly, do not allow electrical fittings that exit bottom of gyro
enclosure to come in contact with any surface or object as this could damage the fittings and
potentially affect the vacuum integrity of the enclosure.

Exercise care to protect gyro painted finish as damage to finish could lead to early appearance
degradation of installed gyro.
Do NOT remove forward brace (see Figure 1).
1.2 Selection of Gyro Installation Location
Selection of mounting location of gyro should consider the following desirable features:
The gyro must be installed aft of amidships to minimize high
acceleration loadings due to hull/wave impacts during operation at
high speed or in large waves.

Overhead access or sufficient clearance for removal / re ‐ installation of gyro enclosure for
overhaul in future years.

Gyro should be installed in a dry space to minimize effects of corrosion.

Clearance for replacement of gimbal angle sensor on gyro port side (see Figure 2).

Clearance for filling / purging brake hydraulic oil (see Figure 2).

Clearance for filling water/glycol cooling circuit (see Figure 2).

Clearance for replacement of brake hydraulic cylinders (see Figure 2).

Space for recommended sound / safety enclosure.
