6 TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 General

In general, see scheme: Faults and their effects on the electric systems.

The following table deals with repeated customer problems, and is based on our
experience with mooring operations.

Source effect 1 Mech. drive

noise 2 Coupling loose
3 Coupling defective
4 Motor mountings loose
5 Other drive components defective (Band brake, gear wheel etc)
6 Motor defective
7 Wrong direction of rotation

B Insufficient 1 Power transmission defective

output forces 2 Tension measuring wrong
and torques 3 Wrong direction or rotation
4 Motor defective
5 Key on pump or motor sheared
C Jerky cylinder or
motor As in 1A, 1-7
