3.5 INSTALLATION AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE MAST
MOUNT BRACKET
Mechanical resistance for the double vertical mount bracket:
In accordance with the dimensions and the aging test report, NKE recommends:
- A maximum 15kg load in the transverse axis of the boat to preserve the quality
of the mount bracket.
- It is strongly recommended, not to use the mount bracket as a step or support
for any manoeuvre onboard.
Installation on the mast:
It is strongly recommended not to open the rim of your mount bracket beyond 15mm
compared to their initial position. Improper handling could damage the piece and
annul warranty.
It is recommended to use 6mm diameter screws with wide head and add a plastic or
stainless steel washer to protect the piece while tightening.
Before fixing the displays, make sure your mount bracket is well fixed. Fixings must
be strongly tightened on the flat surface of the mast. Strongly tightened means to the
right extent and by avoiding to crush the mount bracket. The mount bracket must be
still on the mast. An abusive tightening causes deformation and damaging of the
piece.
It is highly recommended to drill the mast to make the flat surface of the rim coincide
perfectly with the flat surface of the mast.
For a better rigidity, rims of the mount bracket must fully rest on the flat surface of the
mast.
Maintenance and cleaning of the piece:
- It is possible to sand the mount bracket with 600, 800 and 1000 grit sandpaper to
correct small scratch.
- To get the piece’s brilliance back it is recommended to complete the sand with a
polishing.
- The piece can be cleaned with white or alcohol vinegar.
- Do not use acetone, it would degrade the piece’s surface.
- In case of PMMA rupture or mount bracket peeling due to a severe impact, it is
recommended to use bicomponant glue such as ARALDITE 2031 to repair it.
