2 OPERATION
2.1 MEASURES TO BE TAKEN WHEN OPERATING A NEW OR REPAIRED SRP
The inside of the SRP is preserved after the test stand run.
The corrosion preventative lasts for about 6 months when stored
in dry ambient air (no sea-water atmosphere). Fill in oil
before operating the system.
2.1.1 Filling-in Oil
To fill in oil, remove plug (Figures 1/2 and 1/4), fill in oil
through hole (Figure 1/4) until it overflows, reinstall the plug,
then carry on filling through hole (Figure 1/2).
The oil level must be continuously checked during the first
operating hours after having started a new or repaired SRP or
after an oil change, because replenishing may become necessary
due to possibly existing air traps. The required oil quantities
are specified in the table on page 7, these data, however, are
only reference values, since the oil quantities may deviate up
to 101, depending on the configuration.
The oil for the steering worm gear (Figure 2) is filled in
through the bore of the top plug screw; the oil quantity is
approximately 8 litres for each worm gear. For the oil level
check, either a sight glass or a dip stick (depending on the
arrangement) is provided.
2.2 REGULAR CHECKS PRIOR TO START-Up
- The vent cock (Figure 1/1) of the oil tank must be open
(does not apply to separate oil tank with air filter).
- On the separate oil tank, the shut-off valve below the oil
tank must be open.
- Check the SRP oil level, tand also the oil level of the
possibly attached steering worm gears.
