Precautions

  • The Seakeeper must only be lifted from the supplied lifting eyes shown in Figure 1 (see Section: Transport and Unpacking).
  • The Seakeeper flywheel is supported by precision bearings. DO NOT drop or impart mechanical shock to the Seakeeper assembly while lifting or unpacking, as damage to bearings could result.
  • While handling / installing the Seakeeper 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 the Seakeeper assembly, do not allow electrical fittings that exit the bottom of the Seakeeper 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 the painted surfaces as damage to the finish could lead to early appearance degradation of the installed Seakeeper.
