CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
Use the following
procedure
monthly or when
leaving the vessel
for extended
periods. Normal
maintenance
should include
frequent checking
for the green
power light
glowing with the
warning indicator
and audible horn
off. The detector
should be returned
to the manufacturer for recertifi cation each year.
Normally the compass needs no special maintenance un-
less different equipment has been installed at the helm or
existing equipment has been removed. This all effects the
magnetic fi elds in a compass. A qualifi ed compass profes-
sional must adjust the compass from the helm station.
Note: do not try to adjust the compass yourself!
Keep the plexiglass dome free from dust and salt depos-
its by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. A good car paste
wax periodically will help protect the instrument from the
environment.
When not in use keep the compass protected with a cover.
If the compass becomes erratic, sluggish or there is a lose
of liquid it should be serviced by a repair station. See your
compass operator’s manual.
