5.1  Routine maintenance

5 MAINTENANCE

The routine maintenance consists in a series of periodical checks and actions to keep the product in optimum

operating  condition  thus  avoiding  that  the external  environment  may  jeopardize  its  operation  and  safety.

If  the  maintenance  checks  are  not  carried  out,  Poor  maintenance  may  result  in  loss  of  steering  and  cause

property  damage    and/or  personal  injury

WARNING

5.1.1 Cleaning

Ordinary  cleaning   ensures  good  operation and  optimum product  aesthetics.

Only the  control station and the control  unit need  to be washed.

We recommend using no aggressive products that might damage the metal parts or the external plastic parts

of  the control  station.

After  using  the  boat,  wash  the  exposed  control  stations  with  fresh  water.

The display glass and the navigation switch located on the control unit must be kept clean by using a wet cloth.

5.1.2 One month after product installation

The  routine  maintenance  for  the  first  month  includes:

- Check  of  the  mechanical  actuator  calibration;

- Check  of  the  mechanical  actuator  carriage  tightening;

- Greasing (by  using a  marine  lubrication)  of  the  mechanical actuator  stems;

- Cleaning  operations.

5.1.3 11.1.3 Every three months

Every  three  months  the  following  operations  are  required:

- Check  of  the  mechanical  actuator  calibrations;

- Check  of  the  mechanical  actuator  carriage  tightening;

- Greasing (by  using a  marine  lubrication)  of  the  mechanical actuator  stems;

- Cleaning  operations.

5.1.4 Every year

Every  year:

- Check  possible  damages  or  deterioration  on  the  mechanical  cables  of  the  mechanical  actuators.

Every  three  year,  replace  the  split  pin  of  the  mechanical  actuator.

- Check  of  possible  damages  or  deterioration  on the  electric  cable  of  the system.

- Check of  the correct  insertion and/or tightening of  all connectors located  on the  system.

When  checking  the  electric  cables,  make  sure  that  the  interconnections  have  not  been  damaged  while

handling  them.

Check that the ground connections have no surface oxidation. In that case, we recommend using sprays or

common  products to  protect  and  preserve  the  electric  contacts.

- Check  of  the  components fastening  the system.

- Check  the  absence of corrosion  or  damage  on  the system components.

- Check of  the  functions  by  means  of  the  tests  described  in  paragraph  7.2  of  the  Installation  manual.

Technical  Assistance

For  any  information  or  for  assistance  with  unusual  applications,  please  contact  our  Technical  Assistance

Service  (See  paragraph  "Informative  letter").
