4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Control unit
The AP300X Control Unit will under normal use require little
maintenance as the cases are made from high impact material
(polycarbonate) to withstand the rigorous of an exposed cockpit.
If the unit requires any form of cleaning, use fresh water and a mild
soap solution (not a detergent). It is important to avoid using chemical
cleaners and hydrocarbons such as diesel, petrol etc.
Make sure that all open ROBNET connectors are fitted with a
protection cap.
It is advisable at the start of each season to check all connections to the
control unit head and cover with Vaseline or WD40. If the Control unit
is not removed from the boat, it should be covered with the white
protection cover.
4.2 Junction Unit
No special maintenance is required. It is advisable, however, at the
start of each season to make a visual inspection of the internal and
check all connections.
4.3 Rudder Feedback
Make a visual inspection at 2-3 month intervals and at the start of each
season. Apply some grease at the ball joints when required (RF300)
4.4 Compass
If the compass is exposed to the weather, make a visual inspection at
2-3 months intervals, and at the start of each season.
4.5 Drive unit
Refer to the drive unit manual for maintenance instructions.
