5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Control unit
The AP16 Control Unit 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. 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 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.
