SECTION 4.0 MAINTINENCE

Every component has been thoroughly tested and component materials have been chosen

for inherent resistance to the marine environment. The electronic units should require no

maintenance in normal service. If the occasion should arise it is suggested that they be

returned to the factory for service. If this is not practical, any competent marine

electronics technician should be able to effect repairs.

Every effort has been made in the design of this unit to utilize commercially available

components. However, whenever possible replacement parts should be obtained from the

factory to ensure optimum performance. Some system components are available only

from Alpha Marine Systems because of their custom nature.

The mechanical drive unit has seals. However, the extending and retracting nature of the

drive piston causes the internal volume of the unit to change, making a total seal

impractical. Therefore, to prevent water intrusion, none of the drive unit parts should be

submerged in bilge accumulations.

Your autopilot has been designed to be basically maintenance free. However, occasional

lubrication of the Drive Link, Latch, Swivel and Ball Joint is recommended. Inspection

and adjustment of latch for proper engagement and disengagement is also recommended.

Wherever the unit is mounted, it should be kept clean and all bolts checked for tightness.

The Compass Unit requires no maintenance other than to keep it clean and give it the

care you would any precision compass assembly. The compass is liquid-filled and sealed

and contains no user serviceable parts, therefore, if the compass should need repair it

must be returned to the factory for this work.

The Control Unit uses sealed controls for protection from the salt and moisture

environment, therefore, it also must not be opened. If the unit needs repair, it is

recommended that it be returned to the factory. If this is impractical, the entire unit

should be taken to a competent marine electronics technician.

If you should experience difficulty, make sure the unit is wired according to the

information contained in the Installation Sections.

Occasionally rodents get aboard a boat. These creatures seem to have an appetite for

electrical insulation and of course they frequent the less visible areas. If unexplained

performance problems arise, particularly of an intermittent nature, all wiring should be

carefully examined for this type of damage and chafe from vibration, as well as for loose

connection.

A trouble shooting guide is on the following page. The purpose is to isolate what unit is

causing the problem and is not intended as a repair manual. Consult the factory or

authorized

Dealers for service.
