What This Manual Enables You To Do

This John Crane-Lips Controllable Pitch Propeller Installation Instruction Handbook Part 1 is the definitive reference for the LIPS controllable pitch propeller system aboard the Sietas Typ 167 bulk carrier. It walks you through the complete shaft line assembly sequence, including hydraulic flange coupling mounting and demounting, propeller blade mounting and demounting, and pitch adjustment procedures. The hydraulic system chapter provides detailed instructions for filling, flushing, draining, and oil sampling, along with operational checks for pitch adjusting time, safety valve settings, and pump switch-over systems. The maintenance chapter covers inspection intervals, adjustment data, faultfinding, and remedies for common system malfunctions.

Key Systems and Components Covered

• Propeller: 4-blade controllable pitch propeller, 4800 mm diameter, NiAl bronze blades and hub, C-type hub
• Shaft Line: Propeller shaft 9051 mm length, 404/360 mm diameter, C45E material, with moving oil pipes and blocking valve
• Pitch Servo Unit: Type VL 90-C oil distribution box, guide bush, transmitter box, emergency pitch setting connection
• Hydraulic Power Equipment: Power pack with 400 dm³ tank, two electrically driven pumpsets, oil cooler, proportional valve, load sensing system, hub pressure pump
• Control System: Pitch control valve, pressure switches, alarm signals, emergency pitch setting procedure

The John Crane-Lips Controllable Pitch Propeller Installation Instruction Handbook Part 1 also includes comprehensive technical data including pitch values, hydraulic system pressures and capacities, oil types, torque specifications, and alignment procedures using the Gap and Sag method. Emergency pitch setting procedures are covered in detail for situations where hydraulic power is lost or the control system fails, allowing the propeller to be locked in a suitable ahead position for continued operation.
