Fisher 1266-X - Manual (Page 22)

MAINTENANCE
Your 1266-X doesn’t require a lot of care but there are a few
things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition.
1. If you’re not going to be using it for a while,
take the batteries out. Acid damage caused by
leaking batteries can be severe.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures like the inside of a
closed car sitting in the sun. Even worse, inside
the trunk of a car.
3. If you “scrub” the search coil on the ground,
you’ll eventually wear through the bottom.
Replacement coils are expensive. Instead, invest
in an in expensive coil cover.
4. Put a plastic bag over the control housing if
you’re hunting in rain, fog or dust.
5. Keep your 1266-X dry and clean. Wipe off the
lower stem before sliding into the upper stem and
keep the lock nut free of sand and dirt.
