ADJUST (continued)
! CAUTION
Do not overtighten the adjusting nuts. The shaft packing relies on the flow of water for
lubrication. Overtightening the nuts can stop the flow of water, resulting in lack of
lubrication, packing failure, and propeller shaft failure.
3.
Tighten the adjusting nuts (2) until seepage reaches the rate of two to three drops per minute. Do not stop the seepage
of water completely; doing so will result in packing failure and shaft damage.
4.
When adjustment is complete, tighten the locknuts (1) against the adjusting nuts (2) to prevent the adjusting nuts from
backing off.
5.
If adjustment fails to reduce the leakage to an acceptable level, notify general support maintenance for replacement of
the packing.
