Maintenance
A good daily care and preventative maintenance routine prevents
many problems before they occur. The most important part of daily
care for the system is to clean it and keep it free of debris, and to
thoroughly dry removable components (PZS-MC, Sonic Tracker II™,
control box, and cables) before storing them in the carrying case. In
addition, the following procedures ensures trouble free operation:
• Keep the carrying case clean and dry. Do not leave it open and
exposed to the elements. Clean and dry all components prior to
placing them into the carrying case.
• Keep the control box’s touch screen clean to prevent scratching
and from getting debris caught around the screen’s edges.
• Ensure that protective connector caps, provided on some
components, are in place when not using the cables. Water
accumulating on the connectors can cause electrical shorts.
• Place system cables in their appropriate storage connectors after
removing the control box.
• Do not use high-pressure spray water steam cleaner hoses directly
on cables and components. The components can be used in the
rain or light spraying.
• Check for oil leaks in hydraulic assemblies and hoses.
• Check for loose components due to physical damage.
• Use proper battery supplies for components isolated from the
machine (Base Station/Transmitter). Keep the machine’s battery
in good condition.
• Check the Sonic Tracker II™ Transducer daily to make sure the
Filter Foam and Transducer are clean and free of debris. If the
Filter Foam is clogged with dirt, replace it. If the Transducer
