The oil platform supply vessel to which you are assigned has a pneumatic propulsion control system as shown in the illustration. When the mechanical slave remote control station is being used to control propulsion, what is the direct result of positioning the control lever in the ahead direction? Illustration MO- 0168
• Trace the mechanical linkage (chain/cable symbol) from the Mechanical Slave Remote Control Station to see which lever it actually moves. • Follow the air pilot lines from that lever’s control valve spool to see what device is shifted pneumatically. • Distinguish clearly between a valve that is moved directly by the chain/cable and a valve that is moved indirectly by air pressure.
• On the diagram, when the slave lever is moved ahead, what is the first component that changes position: a clutch valve, a pilot-house valve, or the engine-room station valve? • Which component on the diagram is labeled as the clutch actuator 4-way valve, and does any mechanical symbol (chain/cable) connect to it directly, or only air lines? • Compare the labels near the top of the diagram: does the mechanical slave station appear to be tied to the pilot house master, the pneumatic remote, or the engine room control assembly?
• Verify which control valve spool shows a mechanical linkage symbol from the Mechanical Slave Remote Control Station lever. • Confirm that the clutch actuator 4-way valve is operated by pilot air coming from another valve, not by a mechanical linkage. • Make sure the option you choose correctly describes both parts: the mechanically moved valve and the resulting pneumatic action that shifts the clutch actuator 4-way valve ahead.
