Preventive Maintenance

TracVision LF/SF requires minimal preventive maintenance. The
following tasks are sufficient to maintain peak performance.
Monthly
• Wash the exterior of the radome and baseplate
assembly with fresh water; a mild detergent may
be added to remove grime. Do not spray the
radome directly with high-pressure water.
• Do not apply abrasive cleaners or volatile solvents
such as acetone to the ABS radome.
Annually
• Remove the radome. Visually inspect the elevation
drive shaft to be certain that it moves easily and is
clear of grit and debris. Clean and lubricate with
silicone or white lithium grease as required.
