INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE

Electrical protection for instruments and ignition
circuitry is provided by a circuit breaker on the ignition
panel. Periodically, spray the ignition switches with a
contact clean er. The ignition switches and all instru-
ments, controls, etc. should be protected from the
weath er when not in use. Four Winns offers appropri-
ate weather covers for each mod el. Excessive expo-
sure can lead to gauge and igni t ion switch difficul t ies.
DO NOT use a product such as WD-40 as a
contact cleaner. Be sure to read the label
before using any product.
Electronic gauges are affected by static electricity that
builds-up on the glass face. Periodic washing of the
gauge face with clean warm water and mild liquid
detergent will help eliminate the static electric ity
problem and improve gauge accuracy.
