General System Maintenance
When the system is in operation, it should be washed down with clean, salt-
free water whenever it is returned to the deck of the ship. This will reduce
corrosion, and reveal any damage to the frame, pods, compensator, thruster,
or cables.
The electrical cables connected to the sensors, pods, and auxiliary equipment
should be visually inspected regularly to ensure there are no chafes or cuts in
the insulation. The connectors on both ends of the cables should be tightly
fitted with no face gap, and the lock-rings should be finger-tight.
All fastenings should be regularly checked to ensure they are present, tight,
and there is no damage to them or the items they are fitted to.
Reference should be made to the following sections of the manual to fulfil
detailed maintenance requirements, relevant to each individual sub-system
during operation.
