• Ensure that all traces of mud and marine growth are removed.
Use a wooden or plastic scraper to remove persistent growth,
barnacles etc. On completion, dry the unit thoroughly.
Caution Do not use a high pressure hose in the vicinity of cables
or transducers. Do not use sharp or metal tools on a
transducer face.
• If the materials or type of unit prevents the use of a
high-pressure hose, wipe the unit using a cloth dampened
with water containing a little detergent.
Example:
- The upper parts of hull units (inside the hull)
- Hydraulic systems
• Do not use excessive amounts of water as some components
on the unit may not be water tight. Wipe off the detergent
with a damp cloth, then dry the unit thoroughly.
• All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, eg.
flaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas
must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct
preservation mediums. The mediums to be used will
normally be defined in the unit’s maintenance manual.
Cables
Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable
shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Simrad for advice.
Internal batteries
If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during
storage. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period,
disconnect or remove all internal batteries.
A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between
the battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical
discharge. The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the
risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.
Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be
handled separately and with care. Such units are
marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them or dispose of them by
incineration. Refer to the applicable product data
sheets.
