Maintenance

Once a year:

  1. Power-off the Radar.

  2. Remove one of the antenna-securing bolts and associated washers.

  3. Clean the bolt and washers.

  4. Ensure that the passage to the "breather" from the side of the unit is clear of sealant or paint, or other obstacles. For more information on the "breather", refer to: Mounting pre-requisite: "breather" holes.

  5. Replace the bolt and associated washers.

  6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all antenna-securing bolts.

  7. Tighten all antenna-securing bolts to a torque of 15 N·m (11 lbf·ft).

Periodically, carry out these other maintenance tasks, with the Radar powered off:

  • Ensure the antenna is firmly attached to the mounting surface.

  • Check that any connected cables are in good condition and securely attached.

  • Examine all cables for signs of chafing, cuts or other damage.
