5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Control unit

The AP26 and AP27 Control Units will under normal use require

little maintenance.

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 Robnet2 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.

5.2 Autopilot Computer

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.

5.3 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)

5.4 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.

5.5 Drive unit
