3 Initial Checks

Before removing, the gaiter should be checked carefully
to confirm the extent of wear or damage. If the gaiter is
damaged to an extent that may have allowed foreign objects
or significant ingress to pass into the joystick housing, the
remote module should be returned for thorough internal
assessment by a Dynamic Controls service centre.
If the remote module shows any signs of significant
mechanical damage or impact, the unit should be returned to
a Dynamic Controls service centre for assessment. Significant
damage would typically include loss of function or openings
in the unit chassis.
