LIMITED WARRANTY

LIMITED WARRANTY
TERMS OF COVERAGE
C.W.F. Hamilton & Co. Ltd. (Hamilton Jet) warrants to the original purchaser that each new Hamilton Jet
Product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the Warranty
Period. In the event that a warranted defect in material or workmanship is disclosed to Hamilton Jet within
the Warranty Period, Hamilton Jet's obligation is limited to, at its option, repairing or replacing the defective
Product, or component part at its factory or such other location as may be designated by Hamilton Jet.
Defective Products shall be returned to Hamilton Jet or its authorised service representative for inspection with
transportation charges prepaid by the purchaser to the location specified by Hamilton Jet. This Warranty only
applies where the Product is shown, to the satisfaction of Hamilton Jet, to be defective in material or
workmanship during the Warranty Period. Hamilton Jet will supply parts required for Warranty repairs free
of charge and pay reasonable authorised labour costs. To the extent permitted by law, this Warranty sets out
the original purchaser's exclusive remedies with respect to the Product covered by this Warranty. In the event
that Hamilton Jet determines it is unable to repair or replace any component part(s) found to be defective in
materials and/or workmanship, Hamilton Jet's Warranty liability shall be limited to payment by Hamilton Jet
to the original purchaser of an amount not to exceed the value of the defective part(s), together with shipping
charges, if any, incurred. All Products removed or replaced under the Warranty shall become the property of
Hamilton Jet. All Warranty claims shall be lodged with Hamilton Jet or its authorised distributor.

WARRANTY PERIOD
The Warranty Period for Hamilton Jet Products is limited to a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date
of original shipment from the Hamilton Jet factory, or twelve (12) months from the vessel launch date,
whichever occurs first.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This Warranty is extended only to the original purchaser, and is not transferable to or assignable to any other
person or entity, and does not extend to future performance. In no event will Hamilton Jet, its distributors, or
affiliates be liable for any incidental, punitive or consequential losses, inconveniences, damages or other costs
resulting directly or indirectly from any defect in the Product covered by this Warranty, including, but not
limited to, loss of use, revenue or profit. Hamilton Jet reserves the right to change its Product through changes
in design or materials without obligation to incorporate such changes in any Products previously
manufactured, but any improvement or changes may be incorporated in replacement Product.

This Warranty does not extend to failures, damages or defects resulting from the following:
• What Hamilton Jet determines to be, misuse, abuse, overloading, improper application, improper
transportation or storage, abnormal wear and tear, negligence, carelessness, accident, natural
calamity, vandalism, fouling caused by foreign material, peculiar water conditions or chemicals, or
other circumstances over which Hamilton Jet has no control.
• Operation or maintenance in any way other than in accordance with the operating and maintenance
instructions of Hamilton Jet.
• Incorrect installation, as per the applicable Hamilton Jet Product Manual and the applicable Hamilton
Jet Designer's Manual. This Warranty will not extend to the Product unless a negative earth bonding
system has been installed in the vessel as specified in the respective model manual, and a jet
mainshaft critical speed check carried out to Hamilton Jet's written satisfaction.

LIMITED WARRANTY

This Warranty does not cover or provide payment or reimbursement for the following:
• Any Product which may have been serviced, repaired or altered in any way by anyone other than
Hamilton Jet or a Hamilton Jet authorised facility.
• Any repairs or alterations carried out with the use of parts or accessories not manufactured by
Hamilton Jet or its authorised representatives.
• Items incorporated in any Hamilton Jet Product (other than by Hamilton Jet) when such items have
been manufactured by others or are warranted by their respective manufacturers in favour of the

NO REPRESENTATIONS OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY EXCEPT AS HEREIN STATED


To the extent permitted by law, this Limited Warranty is the only Warranty extended by Hamilton Jet and is in
lieu of all other Warranties, expressed or implied, oral or written and of all other obligations or liabilities,
including without limitation any implied Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Except as provided in this Warranty the product is sold as is, where is. No other person or agent or distributor
is authorised to modify this Warranty, give any other Warranty on behalf of HamiltonJet or to assume for
Hamilton Jet any other obligation or liability in connection with the sale of its products. In the United States
and Canada some states and provinces do not allow limitations on duration of an implied Warranty, or the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which
vary from state to state. In other countries outside the United States and Canada, you may have statutory
rights which cannot be affected or limited by the terms of this Warranty.

Duct is an integral part of the Hamilton Jet package.
The split deflector type Reverse Duct is designed to
provide maximum astern thrust under all conditions
of vessel speed, water depth and throttle setting. A
splitter is incorporated to divide the flow and angle
the astern jet stream downwards and to the side, to
clear the vessel Transom and Intake opening. This
prevents recycling of flow through the Jet Unit
(which may be aerated or contain sediment) and
also excessive disturbance of the bottom of the
waterway. The result is very high reverse efficiency
that contributes to the excellent manoeuvrability
afforded by a Hamilton waterjet.

TRANSOM SEAL:—The Transom Seal serves to seal


the hole in the vessel Transom through which the
waterjet passes. It is bolted to the vessel Transom
and incorporates a flexible element which contacts

Figure 2: Steering Operation

The following points should be remembered when


operating a Jet Vessel:-
1. If the engine is stopped there is no jet of water to
deflect and so the vessel cannot be steered or
stopped.
2. Never stop the engine or disengage the drive to
the Jet when approaching a mooring or at any
time when steering will be required.
3. The more the throttle is opened the greater the
steering effect - i.e. the sharper the turn.
4. Steering is available at "Zero Speed" as well as all
ahead and astern speeds - a feature which gives
the Hamilton Jet unrivalled manoeuvrability.
When moving ahead at "Zero Speed", or astern, the
bow of the vessel will always turn the way the
steering wheel is turned, i.e. move the steering to
port, the bow of the vessel will move to port and vice
versa.
This means that going astern the vessel has the
opposite steering to a motor car, a feature which
can be used to advantage when manoeuvring.

CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT COMPLETED
NO.

3.10 Check that the Steering Controls are working by monitoring Steering Nozzle
position while moving the Helm. (Check that port helm gives port Nozzle deflec-
tion, starboard helm gives starboard Nozzle deflection and that all Nozzles are
steering in the same direction).
3.11 Check that steering travel is limited by the hydraulic Steering Cylinder and not
the Steering Linkage. (For Jet Units fitted with Steering Cylinders and Linkages).

3.12 After stopping the engine, check that the Main Bearing and JHPU oil levels and
replenish if required.

4. VESSEL TRIAL:

ITEM
CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT COMPLETED
NO .

4.1 Leave the mooring and check that the steering is operating correctly at "For-
ward Speed", at "Zero Speed" and going "Astern".

4.2 Observe the jet stream when going "Dead Ahead" at speed to ensure that it is
relatively clean with an even shape.

4.3 Check that the Jet Unit and Driveshaft are running smoothly (no vibration) over
the entire engine operating speed range (i.e. from "Zero Speed" to "Full
Ahead").
4.4 Periodically check the Bearing Housing temperature and record the tempera-
ture once it reaches a steady value. Due to friction caused by the Seals, the
Bearing Housing is likely to be warm. The temperature should not exceed 80ºC.
4.5 If practical check the Coupling joint temperatures (if fitted). Increased joint
temperature may indicate Driveshaft misalignment.

4.6 Periodically check the hydraulic oil temperature at the oil. Record the tempera-
ture reading after a sustained run at cruising speed and after a period of vessel
maneuvering.
4.7 Record maximum speed (using GPS) and engine revolutions (strong currents
will result in inaccurate speed readings since the GPS provides speed over
ground). At maximum speed the jet revolutions should be verified with a hand
held tachometer at the Jet Unit Coupling.
4.8 Record vessel speed at varying engine revolutions if possible.

4.9 Record observations on vessel trim, loading, etc.

ITEM
CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT COMPLETED
NO.

5.1 Refer to the Maintenance Section of the Product Manual for any servicing that
may be required on completion of trials.

5.2 For Steel Hulls check that the Jet Unit is insulated from the Hull. The resist-
ance should be approximately 100 ohms but will vary depending on water
salinity and hull characteristics. Refer to the Precautions Against Corrosion
Section of the Product Manual.
5.3 Check for water leaks at the Transom Seal, Intake Base, and from under the
Bearing Housing (Water Seal leaking).

APPENDIX-5: KMT NUT: FITTING & REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS

APPENDIX-5: KMT NUT: FITTING & REMOVAL


INSTRUCTIONS
Technical Data:
MATERIAL: High Strength Steel.
FINISH: Phosphated and Saturated with Oil.
LOCKING SCREWS: P6SS ISO/DIN 913, Grade 12.9.
LOCKING PINS: Hard Drawn Brass.
THREAD TOLERANCE: 5H, ISO 965/3
Recommended Shaft Thread Tolerance: 6g.

GENERAL:
The KMT Nut is quite simple to fit, as each Nus is provided with 4 cut-outs and 2 Spanner Flats on its outer
surface. The KMT Nut also has a number of radial and axial holes which can be used for tightening the Nut.
A Hook or Impact Spanner is recommended for the fitting and removal of the Nut but Open Ended or
Adjustable Spanners may be used.
The KMT Nut can be locked in position by means of the 3 Locking Screws are tightened to the recommended
torque, using a Socket / Allen Key or a Torque Wrench..
FITTING THE KMT NUT:
Prior to fitting the KMT Nut, ensure that the Locking Screws are partially withdrawn and that the Locking Pins
are not protruding into the thread path of the KMT Nut.
Fit the Nut to the Shaft and torque load to the recommended torque.
Screw down the Locking Screws evenly so that the brass Locking Pins contact the screw threads of the Shaft.
Torque load the Locking Screws evenly to the recommended torque. Do not over tighten.
KMT Bearing M6 Locknut Screws - 5 Nm (4ft/lbs).
REMOVING THE KMT NUT:
To remove the KMT Nut, partially withdraw the 3 Locking Screws located around the circumference of the
Nut.
Because the brass Locking pins are a force fit onto the Shaft and do not easily release from the threads of the
Shaft, they have to be released by lightly tapping in the vicinity of the Locking Screws, with a suitable hammer.
In some applications, the KMT Nut is shrouded by the Bearing Housing and so access to the nut is restricted.
To overcome this problem, a long bar may be used by placing the one end of the bar in the vicinity of the
Locking Screw and lightly striking the opposite end of the bar with a suitable hammer until the locking Pins
are released. Refer Figure “View of KMT Nut.” on page A20" If this fails to release the pins, tighten the KMT
Nut slightly to remove any residual torque and tap the nut again using slightly heavier blos. Unscrew the KMT
Nut and remove from the Shaft.
