AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
FROM HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS.
THE COMPACT MOTOR DRIVE BOX
CONTAINS HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRONICS
AND THE COVER SHALL NOT BE REMOVED
WHILE THE FLYWHEEL IS SPINNING
EXCEPT BY AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN.
THIS HIGH VOLTAGE EXISTS EVEN IF THE
FLYWHEEL IS COASTING DOWN AND
THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF.
NOTICE
THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS SHOULD BE LEFT ON
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WHILE THE GYRO IS
SPINNING TO REMOVE HEAT FROM GYRO.
DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE GYRO
SHOULD BE STOPPED WHEN PULLING INTO
PORT AND STABILIZATION IS NO LONGER
REQUIRED. THIS MAXIMIZES LONG TERM

THE SLIP AND THE CREW HAS SHUT DOWN
THE GENERATOR AND ENGINES, THE AC
AND DC BREAKERS THAT CONTROL THE
GYRO SHOULD BE SWITCHED TO THE OFF
POSITION. THE GYRO WILL CONTINUE TO
SPOOL DOWN TO ZERO RPM. NOTE GYRO

4.5 HOURS TO COAST DOWN TO ZERO RPM
FROM FULL SPEED. THE DISPLAY WILL IN-
DICATE 0 RPM WHEN THE FLYWHEEL HAS
STOPPED.
