INSTALLATION Product: MANUAL SEAKEEPER 26HD GYRO Document #: 90300 Rev: 1 Page: 4 of 24 Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Safety There is a large torque about the gimbal axis when the gyro is precessing. Gyro cover panels are provided to prevent personnel or equipment from contacting the gyro while it is in operation. These covers should not be stepped on, or have anything placed on top. The covers should always be in place during operation. The cover side panels contain safety shields as shown below. Do not operate the gyro without these safety shields in place. If it is ever necessary to service the gyro while the flywheel is spinning, the gyro must be locked at the display to stop the gyro from precessing. Gyro maintenance should not be attempted unless the gyro is locked and the flywheel has stopped spinning. The gyro should be treated with the same respect one gives a high speed rotating propeller shaft or engine shaft.
