Inspectors regularly check nozzles for wear marks, scratches, surface erosion and deformed openings. Nozzle blockages from sludge accumulation are the most frequent periodic maintenance task. Damaged nozzles must be replaced as a group.

Inspectors monitor for abnormal vibrations, temperature rise and irregular noise. Detached gear teeth and uneven disk distribution cause vibration problems. Inspection recommended every 200-300 operating hours; bearing replacement after 300-500 hours or at least every 3 years.

Inspectors check ball bearings for free rotation without contamination and damage. Sleeve bushings in gearbox frame must be checked: maximum diameter not exceeding 10.4 mm (bore not ovally deformed). Inspect all bearings and sealing rings every 6 months; replacement after 6,000 operating hours or every 3 years.

Inspectors check for oil leakage and contamination at seal points. The hysteresis coupling eliminates conventional speed-setting shafts and reduces leak points. All rubber seals should be replaced at each service inspection to ensure hygiene and performance. Moisture and contamination ingress leads to seal failure.

Inspectors test programming logic and valve control for correct 3D-indexed impact pattern. Check creep movement (vertical screw movement while horizontal rotation occurs) and progressive compression from coarse to fine over 8 cycles.

Inspectors verify IMO certification and crude oil wash-through approval. Toftejorg T-73 and 270FT Mark I are specifically designed for crude oil tankers. Check for corrosion/wear from crude oil exposure and verify valve seals under crude oil operating conditions.
