Operational Information
Where the pod is disassembled, all the o-rings should be checked to ensure
that none of them are damaged. It is recommended during reassembly, to use
a small amount of silicone grease on the o-rings to prevent damage.
Maintenance
When the system is in operation, the Power Pod should be washed down with
clean, salt-free water whenever it is returned to the deck of the ship. This will
reduce corrosion, and enable thorough inspection of all the main housing,
connectors, and connecting cables.
It is good working practice to regularly check all clamp fastenings to ensure
they are present, tight, and there is no damage to them or the items they are
fitted to. Any damaged fastenings should be replaced immediately.
The electrical cables connected to the Transformer Pod should be visually
inspected to ensure there are no chafes or cuts in the insulation. The
connectors on both ends of the cables should be tightly fitted, and the lock-
rings should be finger-tight. Any damaged cables or lock-rings should be
replaced immediately.
Under normal circumstances the oil in the lower section should not require
replacement.
