3.0 MAINTENANCE
3.1
Scheduled Maintenance
The antenna is virtually maintenance free. The external finish is an epoxy polyamide two
part compound paint. The minimum finish life before showing signs of deterioration
should be at least six years under normal climate condition.
When used in salt-water environments, it is recommended to wash the antenna base with
fresh water to remove any build-up of dried salt residue. This should be performed on a
monthly basis or after prolonged exposure to sea-spray.
Use a small wire brush to clear any debris from the drain groove found in the bottom of
the antenna base.
3.2
Corrective Maintenance
Generally, no corrective maintenance is possible or required. If one section is severely
damaged, it must be replaced by a new section. Workshops having experience in
handling epoxy fibreglass composite structures may attempt the repair of minor surface
damage if practicable.
NOTE
DO NOT USE LEAD BASE PAINT TO TOUCH-UP OR
REPAINT THE ANTENNA. USE ONLY EPOXY BASE PAINT.
