Preventive Maintenance

5.1 Regular Checks.

No periodical maintenance is required on EGS2000. Components which take the hardest
punishment, the ACTUATOR and GEARBOX, are of the highest quality. The ACTUA-
TOR is brush-less, i.e contains no carbon brushes which require regular checks and
replacement. The GEARBOX is sealed and contains its own lubrication, which should
last the lifetime of the vessel.

However, in order to assure that all is well, then the following procedure shall be carried
out two or three times a year, (the engine must be STOPPED, and START BLOCKED
during this test):-

1) Check that connections to the SCAVENGE AIR PRESSURE

TRANSDUCER are tight, clean and show no signs of corro-
sion.

2) Check that the TACHO PICKUPS are located properly in their

brackets and that connections to the relevant junction box are
tight, clean and show no signs of corrosion.

3) Check that connections to the ACTUATOR are tight, clean and

show no signs of corrosion. Check that the ACTUATOR links
are clean and show no signs of overload (i.e twisting, bending,
loose bearings).

4) Check that the links between the EGS Actuator and the fuel
pumps have no sign of backlash. If a backlash in excess of 0,3
mm exists, the connection rods should be adjusted.

5) Open the EGS2000 Power Unit. Visually check that all cables
are sited properly. Close the Power Unit door.

6) Carry out the self-test procedure by pressing the [TEST] key on

the Control Unit. Check that the display is in order and that no
alarm conditions occur.

5.2 Tacho System Checks.

The Tacho System consists of two tacho pickups, and relevant input cards in the
EGS2000 Power Unit. The EGS2000 will normally give an alarm if one of these circuits
fails, however the following procedure may be carried out every 6 months.

To carry out these tacho checks, the engine must be RUNNING , the vessel in SEA
CONDITION and the ACCESS code for either Privileged User or Lyngs Marine
technician inserted.

1) Select TACHO 1 as operational tacho. Return to the normal

menu. Check that the tacho indicator reads "TACHO 1". Note
the RPM reading.

2) Select TACHO 2 as the operational tacho. Return to the normal

menu. Check that the tacho indicator reads "TACHO 2". Note
the RPM reading. This should be the same as that for TACHO
1 (a small divergence of 0.1 RPM is acceptable).

3) Select "AUTO". Return to the normal menu.

For details of MENU and ACCESS operations, see sections 3.3.3.1 and 4.1.3 in this
manual.
