Section 4 Maintenance
Radome Scanner Unit
q Radome
A radome surface contaminated by smoke, dust, or paint would cause
attenuation or reflections of radio waves, resulting in reduced radar
performance. Periodically check the radome scanner unit. If it proves dirty,
wipe the radome surface with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol or
damped cloth.
*Never use solvents such as thinner, gasoline, benzene, trichlene, and ketone.
w Lubricating gears
•Apply grease to gears evenly using a knife or brush. This lubrication needs
to be performed at least semiannually. The shorter the lubrication period,
the longer the gears will endure.
Use Mobilux No.2 from Mobile Oil Co,. ltd. Or equivalent.
•Check the mounting bolts for loose connection occasionally.
Display Unit
Cleaning the Display Unit Screen
Dust on the LCD would reduce the transparency and make the video image
dim.
Wipe the screen surface with a soft lint-free cloth (made of flannel or cotton).
A cloth moistened with an antiseptic agent would cause little problem. When
using it, wipe softly; never rub the screen surface with force.
