Cleaning the Sensor

You need to regularly clean the sensor for proper performance.

Wash the sensor with fresh water and dry it before you charge or store it.

Regularly check that the sensor is clean. If not:
  • Wash away mud or debris with warm water.
  • Use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the end cap and transducer. Use a steel wool pencil to clean the shoulder bolts, and very fine sandpaper (180 grit) to clean between them.
    Notice: Do not use highly abrasive materials or jet wash.
    Notice: Special care should be taken with sensors and components sensitive to mechanical shock or contamination.

Regularly clean the pull cord magnet or it may stop working: remove the metal disk fixed on the housing and clean the magnet with a swab or Q-tip. See Replacing the Pull Cords to know how to remove the components.
