8.5 Replacing the Synchro Belt (1824C only)
When the synchro belt of MODEL1824C has worn out, the sweep is not synchronized with
antenna rotation, which results in an abnormal picture.
When you suspect that the synchro belt has worn out, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer
about replacement. (Type: 40 S2M 266UG, Code No.: 000-808-743)
8.6 Trackball Maintenance
If the cursor skips or moves abnormally, you may need to clean the Trackball.
1. Turn the retainer ring counterclockwise 45°
to unlock it.
2. Remove the retainer ring and ball.
3. Clean the ball with a soft lint-free cloth, and
then blow carefully into the ball-cage to
dislodge dust and lint.
4. Look for a build-up of dirt on the metal
rollers. If dirty, clean the rollers using a cotton swab moistened lightly with
isopropyl-rubbing alcohol.
5. Make sure that fluff from the swab is not left on the rollers.
6. Replace the ball and retainer ring. Be sure the retainer ring is not inserted reversely.
Note: Trackball maintenance parts are available as below.
