Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Lexicon

The bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that should be performed on a periodic basis.

•Clean the RV-8 exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners or strong commercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal polish. If the RV-8 is exposed to a dusty environment, a

low-pressure blower can be used to remove dust from its exterior surface.

•Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remote control requires four AAA batteries. When these batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the RV-8. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed.

RESTORING FACTORY-DEFAULT SETTINGS

When factory-default settings are restored, all parameters and user- defined values are restored to their factory-default settings. Before restoring factory-default settings, record all user-defined settings in the Installation Worksheet in the Appendix on page D-2.
