GENERAL
Replacement of a pilothouse window is described. The replacement procedure for all pilothouse windows and all accommo-
dation module windows is identical. Windows in the pilothouse and accommodation module doors are not serviced sepa-
rately. Should a door window require replacement, replace the entire door assembly.
REMOVAL
WARNING
Do not apply pressure to the glass when removing the window. Glass breakage could
result. Always wear heavy gloves when working with glass. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in serious injury or death.
1.
Remove the screws (1) that secure the inner window frame to the outer window frame.
2.
Don protective leather gloves (both personnel).
3.
Remove the inner window frame from the outer window frame.
4.
Position one person outside the window to support the window.
5.
Position one person inside the compartment to push out the window.
6.
When the outside person is ready, the inside person must push out on the window frame (2). Do not push out on the
glass. Glass breakage and personnel injury could result. It may be necessary for the outside person to help break the
window frame free from the pilothouse by prying between the window frame and the pilothouse structure to break the
window's seal on the pilothouse structure.
7.
After the window has broken free, carefully remove it from the pilothouse structure.
