INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
QUICK MC²X 16k - 16k LV
- REV001E
16k - 16k LV
3 - Introduction
3.1 - Preliminary technical checks
Before proceeding to the installation, it is essential to make sure that the position chosen and the boat structure
can withstand and enable the transfer of the loads generated by the gyroscope on the hull.
This document contains the instructions that are necessary for boat manufacturers and marine equipment installers to
assemble and commission the
Quick
®
MC²X gyro stabilizer
.
3.0 - General information
Quick stabilizers have been designed for fixed installations in a protected space.
Taking into account the wide range of hulls and types of boats, the installer shall be responsible for building a solid
base that makes the stabilizer an integral part of the boat structure.
Nonetheless, Quick
®
is providing below some purely indicative illustrations that could be useful (See section 6.0).
The stabilizer’s installation and following inspection and repair operations must be performed exclusively by qualified
personnel.
The installer shall be responsible for the correct mechanical fixing, for the correct electrical connection, as well as for the
effective stabilizer operation after its installation on the boat.
This device must not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities.
QUICK
®
SpA will not accept responsibility for direct or indirect damages caused by improper use of the equipment.
BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE STABILIZER'S INSTALLATION, ALL THE PROCEDURES
DESCRIBED AND ILLUSTRATED IN THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL MUST BE CAREFULLY
READ AND CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD.
IF IN DOUBT, IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORISED QUICK
®
DEALER.
Load generated by MC²X 16k - 16k LV
The value (Newton/meter) to be used is obtained by multiplying by 3
the declared output torque value of the gyroscope (Newton/meter):
16350 N·m X 3 =
49050 N·m
(1Kg = 9,81 N·m)
If the installer does not have the necessary means to guarantee that the boat
structure is able to withstand and transfer the loads in the hull generated by
the gyroscope, a qualified technician or a naval engineer should intervene in
order to carry out a suitable structural analysis on site.
The supporting base must be properly dimensioned in order to withstand the
declared stabilizing torque (Nm).
By sharing the total stabilizing torque on the three dimensions for each fixing
screw (8 screws), the following torque will result on each dimension:
• Fz: 30 kN
• Fx: 18 kN
• Fy: 2 kN
The above-mentioned efforts must be considered to work simultaneously and
secured by a safety factor multiplied by 3.
These efforts don’t include the efforts generated by the boat hitting the waves.
