In stowed position the boat is resting on the davit legs and secured by
lashings. Embarkation of the boat can take place from its parked position in
the davit, or in a position on ship's side in deck level.
The davit is operated by one person from the operator’s console and should
have a clear view to the boat launching.
Launching of the boat is done by swinging the davit from its parked position to
a position where the boat is free of the ship's side, and then lowered by
means of the winch. This two-step operation makes it possible to swing the
davit backwards after lowering the boat below deck allowing the boat to rest
along the ship's side, preventing the boat from excessive movements in rough
weather conditions, or to park the boat along the ship's side for
embarkation/disembarkation.
3.2 Winch
The winch consists of five main elements:
Gear
The reduction gear is a planetary gear flanged directly to frame.
Mechanical brake
Between gear and motor there is a automatic spring-loaded disc brake
functioning as parking brake and a mechanical brake.
The brake is released by hydraulic pressure.
Hydraulic motor

The davit is delivered with loose base brackets for welding to ships deck. Two
brackets for cylinder hold, two for davit legs and two for the guiding rails. Correct
position of the brackets is given in the davit arrangement drawings.
NOTE! Check that the base brackets are correctly levered and that they do not
twist during welding. After welding check that hinge-bolts are “floating”.
The guiding frame is delivered with the cylinder hinges bolted to the frame. The
hinges should be adjusted so that the frame is as high as possible without interfering
with the boat. After the adjustment is done, the boat should be removed, and the
position of the cylinder hinge should be secured with a weld.
NOTE! It is very important that the cylinders does have a negative angle against the
frame pivoting point, this will lead to damage.

General
The installation should be in accordance with the system diagram.
Keep all pipe connections from winch, pump, cylinders etc. plugged until final
system connecting is complete. Only plastic plugs or covers must be used. Do
not use paper plugs or cotton waste.
The system is designed for minimum pressure loss. Pipe sizes as shown on
system drawings are based on pipe distance max. 10m between davit and
manoeuvring valve. Idle pressure measured at manoeuvring valve shall not
exceed 5 bar. Protect the stainless steel pipes when welding close to the davit.
Choice of pipes
Fittings
Never paint the hydraulic pipes and connections. You can use densotape
but never paint. If you paint the pipes and connections we cant control the
pipes and connections for damages.

Threaded connections
Cleaning of pipes
Arrangement of pipes
The distance between pump, valves and motors should be kept to a minimum.
It is preferable using formed pipes rather than elbows due to loss of efficiency.
Clamping
The clamps shall prevent the pipes from vibrating and at the same time allow
longitudinal movements.
The clamps should be lined with plastic or rubber to prevent wearing of the
pipes and reduce the noise level.
Normal distance between clamps is 25-50 time outer diameter.
Longitudinal expansion
Noise
- The suction line must be absolute tight to prevent air entering into the oil. In
some cases it can be necessary to install an accumulator on the compression
side.

Pressure testing
Pressure testing of the pipes must be achieved prior to starting operation of
the system. According to The Norwegian Maritime Directorate regulations a
normal testing pressure equals 1,5 x operation pressure.
NB! Only the pipe system must be tested. Pumps, motors, cylinders and
valves are not normally tested.

Tank, pumps and motors must be filled with correct type of oil according to
manufacture specifications. Use the filtering and filling unit
Oil types
For emergency systems of this type it is important that the hydraulic oil has a
correct viscosity at all times and at all temperature conditions.
Hydraulic oil of good quality and high viscosity index is recommended.
Oil with viscosity grade 22-68 cSt at 40°C, running 13-54 cSt, will assure a
good result under normal temperature conditions.
The following table indicates the temperature extremes between which the viscosity
grades can be used to remain within start-up and running viscosity range
recommendations.
Viscosity 22 is recommended with ambient temperature from +5 to -10°C
___________________________________________________________________
Viscosity
Grade Start up Start up Start up Running Running
@ 40°C 860 cSt 220 cSt 110 cSt 54 cSt Max. 13 cSt Min
22 cSt -22°C -5°C 8°C 18°C 55°C
In special Arctic condition the use of synthetic oil is recommended. Shell Tellarctic Oil
or equal. The gearbox should use gear oil EP 80W/90 or equal.
Operation temperature
For continuous operation the temperature should not exceed 65°C anywhere
in the system. Normally the best results are achieved at 55°C.

After mounting, flushing and oil filling, the following 7 points have to be
controlled:
1. The oil level in tanks.
4. Relief valves, throttle valves and control valves have to be completely open.
Starting
The test run can start when all above 7 points are controlled and found in
order. The system shall be run at low pressure and vented carefully. Airing
should start close to the pump and end at the driving gear. (Winch,cylinder).
The different components are then tested at low pressure.
Cylinders and motor shall be run several times in both directions. If everything
is satisfactory, the system is slowly brought up to normal operating pressure.
The pressure is increased by keeping the manoeuvring valve for cylinder in
pos. “in” and at the same time tightens the relief valve at the inlet side of the
manoeuvring valve.
When the operating pressure has been reached, the pipeline must be checked
for tightness. When all connections are found tight, all valves shall be set at
correct pressure and oil level. – See hydraulic diagram.
During starting period, the hydraulic filter cartridge should be replaced after 10 hours
of operation.

When the system is completely clear of air, the pump will feel tight and not sag
during pump stroke.

ACTIVATING
2. Open the airing screw. Make sure that the wire is unloaded.
3. Open the ball valve slowly until the cylinder is in out position and oil is flowing
out of the air-screw. Then shut the ball valve, and tighten the air-screw.
Repeat the operation until the system is de-aired. The damping element is
now ready for use.
The accumulator is charged with nitrogen. The pressure is calculated
according to the weight to be suspended in the davit. With no load on the
hook, the pressure should be checked twice a year.

1 Ensure that accumulator is shut off from the circuit and decompressed on the
liquid side.
3. Turn the adjustment knob E carefully clockwise. Check the pressure in the
pressure gauge.
4. If the charging pressure is too high, slowly open the general bleed valve B until
the required pressure is obtained.
5. To increase the pressure, connect the hose to the nitrogen supply and feed in
the pressurised gas slowly.
ATTENTION: In all cases, wait until the thermal exchange caused by the
changes of pressure has stabilised before checking / adjusting the charge.
DISMANTLING:
1. Unscrew the knob E completely.
2. Bleed off with bleed valve B.
3. Undo the nut F, and attach the protection cap(s).
