Airline Travel
With increased airport security, traveling with your Cox-Box is trickier than ever. We recommend you check
the Cox-Box in with your luggage. Include product literature that explains what the Cox-Box is. Brochures
can be obtained from NK, or product literature can be printed from the website.
You certainly do
not
want to try to carry them onto an airplane. Cox-Boxes have been thrown into bomb
chutes, even before 9/11.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TIPS
Daily Maintenance
1. If you row on salt water, rinse the Cox-Box off with fresh water and dry it after every use.
2. Charge the unit whenever it is not in use, but do not leave the unit on charge indefi nitely.
Once a Month
This maintenance is easy to perform with a Cox-Box Maintenance Kit, available from NK.
1. Wash the Cox-Box display panel with warm water and mild soap. Rinse well and dry.
2. Use the drill bit from the Cox-Box Maintenance kit to clean out the metal sockets inside the rubber plug on the
unit. Rotate the bit inside the sockets to dislodge any dirt or debris.
3. Check the inside of the rubber plug on the wiring harness for any dirt. Inspect the wires leading to the plug for
any nicks or cuts. If these exist, contact NK about repairing them.
4. Apply silicone grease to the outside of the rubber plug on the Cox-Box. This helps to minimize the damage done
by repeatedly removing the unit from the boat. Try not to get silicone into the plug itself.
5. Inject a small amount of electrical contact grease (Nyogel) into the sockets on the rubber Cox-Box plug. Connect
the unit to the harness. This will coat the pins with Nyogel and push some Nyogel deeper into the sockets,
protecting them as well.
End of the Season
1 Wash the Cox-Box with fresh water and dry it carefully.
2. Repeat the cleaning and lubricating steps under “Once a Month” maintenance.
3. Fully charge the Cox-Box then unplug it and store it in a cool, dry place.
