6.0 Installation and Start Up Checklist

6.1 Installation and Start Up Introduction

Reference Documents:

• 90437 – Seakeeper Commissioning Form
• SWI-105 – Commissioning Checklist
• Seakeeper 18 Operation Manual

The Installation and Start Up Checklists in this section provide an overview of the primary steps covered in the installation manual and should be referenced throughout the installation process. Upon completion of the
Seakeeper 18 installation, the installer should commission each Seakeeper unit with the Seakeeper Commissioning Form (90437). The Commissioning Checklist Work Instruction (SWI-105) provides a checklist of items to inspect and verify during the commissioning process and serves as a supplement to the Seakeeper Commissioning Form (90437).

All Seakeeper stabilizers should be commissioned to verify installation specifications and requirements have been implemented properly. The commissioning process should include completion of the Seakeeper
Commissioning Form (90437), all the items in the Installation Checklist, and verification of Seakeeper 18 operation without alarms or abnormal behavior.
