5.4 Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance should mainly consist of three opera-
tions: inspecting, cleaning, and tightening.
5.4.1
Inspecting
This is a visual and physical inspection of the transmitter look-
ing for loose connections, signs of corrosion and dirt, broken or
overheated components and wear on moving parts.
5.4.2
Cleaning
This is the stage in which the dirt and/or corrosion is removed
from the transmitter and the air filters are cleaned and/or re-
placed. The transmitter should be cleaned using an approved
solvent and/or vacuum or compressed air device. The air system
should be checked and the filters cleaned or replaced as needed.
5.4.3
Tightening
This is the stage when the loose component connections discov-
ered during inspection and cleaning are tightened. Areas to pay
particular attention to are high current points, high power com-
partments and moving parts such as fans and tuning controls.
Caution should be taken not to overtighten a connection as this
may damage the connection.
