Section 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
There is a large torque about the gimbal axis when the Seakeeper is
precessing. Seakeeper cover panels are provided to prevent personnel
or equipment from contacting the Seakeeper while it is in operation.
These covers should not be stood on, or have anything placed on top.
The covers should always be in place during operation. If it is ever
necessary to touch the Seakeeper while the flywheel is spinning, the
Seakeeper must be locked at the display to stop the Seakeeper from
precessing. Seakeeper maintenance should not be attempted unless the
Seakeeper is locked and the flywheel has stopped spinning.
