Precautions

  • The Seakeeper must only be lifted from the supplied lifting eyes (see Section: Transport and Unpacking).
  • The Seakeeper flywheel is supported by precision bearings. Make certain while unpacking and lifting the Seakeeper assembly to NOT drop or impart mechanical shock 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 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 finish as damage to finish could lead to early appearance degradation of the installed Seakeeper.
