Page 36: Maintenance
Versatrax 100™ Maintenance Tether Handling The tether should be considered the most important part of the vehicle system. It feeds power and control signals to the vehicle and returns video and sensor data. If the tether becomes damaged from improper use, poor handling or an accident, the vehicle may become crippled or inoperable. This may result in repairs, down time, and loss of production. -
Page 37: Connector Care
Versatrax 100™ Connector Care Proper connector care is important for system reliability. Preventable connector problems can represent a significant cost in downtime and re-termination which could easily have been avoided. A good tether isn’t much use without a connector.
