The difference between the indicated values shows the crank deflection during one
full turn (Fig. 2).
Where values are measured, which are above the maximum permitted limits, you
must find the cause (e.g. defective main bearing, engine stay changed because hull
deformation, loose hold-down bolts, defective propeller shaft bearings, equipment
94305 etc).
The limits are applicable for all conditions of ship operation after delivery i.e.:
D The draught and trim of the ship are in the limits for usual operation.
D The engine is hot or cold.
