MAINTENANCE
Your Gold Bug doesn't require a lot of care but there are a
few things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition.
1. If you're not going to be using it for awhile, take
the batteries out. Acid damage caused by leaking
batteries can be severe.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures. Don't leave it
inside a closed car sitting in the sun. Even worse,
the trunk of a car.
3. If you "scrub" the search coil on the ground,
you'll eventually wear through the bottom.
Replacement coils are expensive. Instead, invest
in a coil cover. They're cheap.
4. Put a plastic bag over the control housing if
you're hunting in rain, fog or dust.
5. Keep your Gold Bug dry and clean. Wipe off the
lower stem before sliding it into the upper stem and
keep the slip nut threads free of sand and dirt.
