8 MAINTENANCE
8.1 General Maintenance
Caution !
Do not use any abrasives, chemical cleaners, petrol or diesel to clean this
unit.
The instrument head will require no maintenance apart from
occasional cleaning. Use fresh water and a mild soap solution
(not a detergent).
8.2 Annual Maintenance
Check all connections to the instrument and, if necessary, cover
with silicone grease or petroleum jelly.
The wind transducer is a robust unit that should give you years
of reliable service. However, it will benefit from an application
of silicone grease to the connector at the beginning of each
season. It is also recommended that the wand is removed over
Winter if the boat is not in use. To prevent corrosion of the
connector, always fit the protective cap to the socket when the
wand has been removed.
Note !
A broken vane can only be replaced by the factory, as the wind
transducer needs new calibration.
A broken anemometer cup may be replaced by the dealer/owner.
8.3 Removal of Instrument
1.
If rear access is possible unplug the Roblink connectors from
the rear of the instrument.
2.
Remove the four front panel corners and the fixing screws.
3.
Pull the instrument free from the panel, being careful not to

removed.

If they are not yet removed, unplug the Roblink connectors
from the rear of the case, and make up the cables if
necessary.
