Preventive Maintenance

TracVision R5/R4 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 and examine the interior of
the antenna unit for signs of corrosion, loose
connections, or frayed or broken wires.
• Visually inspect the elevation drive shaft to be
certain that it moves easily and is clear of grit and
debris.
