11.0 MAINTENANCE
The EF1 RC Monitor requires little maintenance. The unit should be kept clean and free of dirt by rinsing with water after each use.
Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before placing the unit in service. Equipment can be returned to
the factory for service and/or testing.
CAUTION
11.1 LUBRICATION
The EF1 monitor generally should not require greasing. In the event that the operation becomes stiff grease may be applied to the
horizontal rotation and elevation worm gears. See figure 3.1 for grease port locations. Use medium viscosity automotive chassis
grease. Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If normal operation is not restored by greasing than inspect for other
causes of stiff operation.
Note: Do not over pump grease. The monitor's greased areas lead to large chambers that could trap several pounds of
grease before becoming visible.
